UW-Eau Claire to host Northwestern Wisconsin Regional National History Day Competition

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host the Northwestern Wisconsin Regional National History Day competition on March 14.

The event is an opportunity for middle school and high school students to do history by researching a topic of interest and then producing historical documentaries, exhibits, dramatic performances, websites or research papers based on the theme Turning Points in History.

The event will run from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in Davies Center. UW-Eau Claire history students, graduate students and community members will be among those judging the entries. Awards will be presented at 2 p.m. in Schofield Auditorium.

Organizers expect nearly 200 students in grades 6-12 to participate in the event, along with judges.

The event is the next in a series of competitive National History Day events, which began at the individual school level, and includes state and national competitions. Regional winners will compete at the state level, and the winners there advance to the national competition. This is the 18th regional competition to be held at UW-Eau Claire.
