[Histmaj] Some Timely Reminders and the Course list for Spring 2026

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Historians-

A handful of reminders:


  *   I have been sending out announcements about the application for Honors in History.  If you have an interest and are eligible, please turn in your application soon.  The due date for applying is February 9th: https://history.washington.edu/honors-history
  *   I have also sent announcements about applying for this year's History Scholarships and Awards.  There is more time on these applications.  They are due by March 25th, but planning ahead is wise, since that is right after the end of the quarter: https://history.washington.edu/scholarships-and-awards
  *   If you are planning to graduate at the end of Spring 2026, Summer 2026, or Autumn 2026, NOW is the time to set up an appointment with one of the History advisers to do your graduation application: https://history.washington.edu/advising   Don't wait, or you won't graduate!
  *   Registration for Spring 2026 is just a couple weeks out.  I have included an attachment of the courses planned for Spring 2026, also see here: https://history.washington.edu/courses
  *   Finally, I have sent several messages with the descriptions of Spring 2026 Junior and Senior Seminars.  The emails are titled: "Now is the Time to Ask for Add Codes for Junior and Senior Seminars in Spring 2026" mostly because NOW is the time!  Please read through that email if you have questions about the topics, and follow the instructions in those email to ask for an add code.

Thanks, Mark and Tracy
