History Talks

History Talks is an annual interdisciplinary conference held at our North Campus. It was founded by professor John Gillespie in 2016 with the goal of bringing together scholars from various fields to present a wide range of perspectives on important topics in history. We are proud to foster the presentation and exchange of ideas at San Jac and surrounding communities.
