The students and professors are setting up this club for great plans this academic year. At the head of this club are History majors Aia Andonovska and Eleanor Flannery. Their goal for the club is to raise interest and awareness in the subject of history. Alongside the students are Brevard College’s History professors, who will assist the students in this goal. Professor Joshua Wilkey furthered the goal of the club by saying, “We need to raise historical awareness as it relates to its use in modem politics and helps create civic responsibility among the student body.” Associate Professor of History and Coordinator of the History Major Dr. Margaret Brown also added, “This club isn’t just for history majors, but for all students who want to learn more about history.” Pastimes will meet every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in Tornado Alley. There you can show your interest in joining the club and assist in planning out club activities for the semester. Among these possible activities are community service projects, field trips to historical sites, trivia nights, movie nights and even reenactment activities. If you’re looking to have a fun time discussing history, eating snacks, watching movies and maybe having a good excuse to wear a powdered wig, then Pastimes is the right place for you. — Sam Hipp Seven members of Pastimes History Club pose for a photo during their first meeting.
