History, Sociology, & Global Studies Friends! The end of the year is in sight and we'd like to do something as a department to close out the year. The plan is to head out to Huntington Beach for the afternoon on Friday and have a beach cookout. I'd really like to get some sort of a head count to see if this works for everyone or if it's something that anyone would like to do. Please let me know ASAP, either by responding to this, emailing me ([email protected]), or texting me if you have my number.

Thanks!
