Welcome to the Monmouth University Department of History & Anthropology
We are excited to share our students’ impressive research work with their friends and family, faculty, and the greater MU student body. Please plan your conference by noting the times of each presentation you would like to attend during the course of the afternoon. This year our student presentations will be given in person in Anacon Hall Rooms A and B in addition to being videoconferenced on Zoom. To access any presentation, please click on the associated link to the Anacon room in which the presentation is being held. Each room you enter will open in a browser window and all you have to do is close the browser window to leave the room. You may attend as many presentations as you like included in the schedule.
