Description
The History Guild is a student organization focusing on history as a topic, defined broadly. While most of the members are History majors, it is not restricted to History majors.
The History Guild regularly works with on-campus museums (Blackwater Draw and Roosevelt) at their events, hosts talks about historical themes, and holds film showings with a focus on historical or cultural topics. These films include an opening history-focused lecture, usually given by a member of the faculty or one of the History guild students. The film showings have also been an opportunity to work together with the Kitchen Brigade (formerly FCCLA).
History Guild will also have other programs- for example, in Fall 2024, History Guild and Ed Rising teamed up to participate in a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaign for New Mexico. History Guild also regularly participates in ENMU events, such as the ENMU Day of Action, Homecoming, and Trunk-or-Treat.

Please contact your academic advisor
Description
Under the mentorship of faculty in their program, History students may leverage research work done for a regular course, a directed study, or independent research (or grant-related work completed in collaboration with a faculty PI) to produce a research presentation or manuscript for submission to an external conference or scholarly journal. Students are advised to work closely with faculty members to ensure that their work is ready for the academic peer review process. Conferences will normally welcome proposals for poster and paper presentations. In some cases, students may seek opportunities to participate in conferences to earn CEUs or engage in professional development opportunities, rather than to present research.

Social work is both a science (practice based on evidence and theory) and an art (practice based on skills and experience). In the field education program, students integrate classroom learning with practical application in real-world situations involving clients. Students' field experiences interacting with clients, colleagues and the community play an important role in the students' professional and career development, making field education an essential element of the BSW Program.
