Professors Purcell Carson, Alison Isenberg, and Rob McGreevey invite you to join us for student research presentations focusing on the Trenton-Princeton region in the 1930s-1970s, combining the HIS 393 Seminar at The College of New Jersey, and URB 202/HIS 202 at Princeton University. The event is free and open to members of the university and college communities and their guests. RSVP to Jacquelyn Walsh at jw42@princeton.edu (include your name, institutional affiliation, and email address). Please contact Alison Isenberg (isenber@princeton.edu, 609-258-2205) with questions.
