About Us

The Brooklyn College Historical Society (BCHS) promotes the study of history and academia. We host events each month like speaker events with BC staff and outside guests, movie nights, trivia events, writing workshops, holiday parties, and just about anything you can think of. Previous speakers include city council members, representatives from the National Archives, the Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness, as well as fellow Brooklyn College students like yourself! The BCHS also manages Clio: The Journal of the Brooklyn College Historical Society. Clio recognizes the exemplary research and writing completed by Brooklyn College students who have taken classes offered by or cross-listed by the History Department. History brings us together, but this organization is what you make it!
