Civil War Institute Summer Conference

The Civil War Institute creates opportunities for students to put history into action in immersive and experiential ways. Academically, CWI contributes to enhancing the teaching and research aspects of the campuss intellectual life and serves as home to the Civil War Era Studies minor and Public History minor. Our commitment to student professional networking is put into practice through a range of paid internship and fellowship programs, opportunities for skill development, and sustained investment in career mentorship. Reaching beyond campus, CWIs annual summer conference, public programs, and digital scholarship initiatives also foster informed public conversation about the history and legacy of the Civil War era.
