We bring together history majors, concentrators, and enthusiasts from all class years, organizing events and initiatives that foster community among history students and faculty.

Welcome Back Trivia Night

Join the Columbia Historical Association (CHA) and the Columbia Journal of History (CJH) for our first event of the school year! We’re hosting a trivia night on Tuesday, September 17 at 7 pm in Fayerweather 411! Come for the fun historical trivia questions and stay for the chance to meet cool people and hear from both E-Boards (who are also cool). This is also a chance to learn about CHA and CJH if you want to get involved in the future! There will be awesome prizes for the winners and snacks for everyone, too…

Please RSVP using THIS FORM so we have an idea of who’s coming. Hope to see you there!

Peer Mentorship Program

Every semester, CHA organizes a Peer Mentorship program that pairs new history students from all class years with junior and senior history majors and concentrators! The program is open to any undergraduate interested in history, whether or not you have declared a major or concentrator. Mentor-Mentee pairings meet at least once a semester, and Peer Mentors are also invited to speak at CHA Peer Advice panels over the course of the spring. To sign up for Fall 2024 Peer Mentorship, check back here for the sign up form and make sure to sign up for our newsletters! If you have any questions, feel free to contact CHA Mentorship Coordinator Joe, yz4764@columbia.edu.
