Front Range Community College’s 7^th annual History Student Research Conference was recently held on Friday, April 22nd. This conference is modeled after traditional academic conferences that are common in the professional field of history.  Open to all FRCC students regardless of major or home campus, our conference serves as a springboard for students to highlight the historical research and analytical skills they learned at FRCC. Participation in this conference benefits students through achieving experience to use for resume and transfer application credits, etc., as well as the opportunity to compete for awards and prizes for best research. Previous student presenters at this conference went on to contribute to their communities after FRCC through historic preservation, teaching, and writing. This year there were a total of 24 research presentations, and Academy concurrent enrollment students accounted for 4 of the 7 award winners!

In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, the councils have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community.
