Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.
From the Civil War to the conflict in Bosnia, presentations will be made on a variety of topics by representatives from colleges and universities throughout the Southeast. Campbell history professor and expert on the pre-Revolutionary and Civil War South Dr. Lloyd Johnson will chair a discussion panel on the Civil War. The membership of Phi Alpha Theta has grown to more than 150,000 since 1921. Established in 1999, Campbell's Alpha Iota Alpha chapter of Phi Alpha Theta initiates approximately 20 students per year. Founded in 1887, Campbell University is North Carolina's second largest private institution and the second largest Baptist university in the world.
