Fernando Fuentes Hours: Wednesday 2-3pm, Thursday 2-3pm Field: Late Modern Europe Courses Taken: 167A, 162A, and 171C Hey! I'm Fernando A. Funes, and I'm a 4th year transfer student from Santa Ana, Orange County, CA (I live 20 minutes away from Disneyland), and I’m also the first in my family to go college. I'm a double major in History and Political Science, so come talk to me if you want some info on how to balance school and everything else without going nuts! My field is modern political history, and I'm leaning towards American intervention in Latin America or the Mid East via the C.I.A or corporations. I look forward to meeting you all! |

Charlotte McLachlan Hours: Tuesday, Thursday 11-12pm Field: Ancient Rome History Courses taken: 3, 4B, 7B, 103A, 105A, 106A, 106B, 150B, 151A, 151C, 162A Hey everyone! I'm the returning peer advisor, meaning I was in the main office last year, hopefully helping you all out. I am now in my fourth year at Cal and will be graduating in May. So scary. My field of concentration here at the Cal history department is Ancient Rome. That's right, I study the Punic Wars, the Gracchi brothers, Augustus, and many others. I came to Cal as a spring admit but was here in the fall as part of the Fall Program for Freshman for my first semester. I'm currently balancing school with a part time job and will soon be beginning the job hunt for after my graduation and writing my 101 thesis next semester. Feel free to stop by and talk to me about anything, I promise I'm not stuck in the first century B.C.! |

Katy Pool Hours: Monday, Tuesday 2-3pm Field: America since 1607 Courses Taken: 5B, 7B, 8B, two 100s, 103 and 122AC I'm a junior history major and English minor. I was a Spring admit in my Freshman year and did the Fall Program for Freshman in 2010. Since then, I have delighted in taking history classes here at Cal, focusing primarily on United States and European History, but also dabbling in Latin America and Ancient Rome. I spent this past summer at Cambridge University in England studying both US and British intelligence communities, as well as the development of the European and America city in the 19th and 20th centuries. Apart from my true love history, I also enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, good television shows, dinosaurs, delicious food, and things that make me laugh. I hope I can be of some help to you this semester! |

Kristina Graber Hours: Monday, Wednesday 1-2 pm Field: Early Modern Europe Courses Taken: 4A, 7A, 5, 151A, 151C, 121B Hi! I’m a third year doubling with history and art history, and I have finally come to terms with the fact that I have resigned my life away to endless and endless and endless amounts of reading (yay for history!). My area of concentration is late nineteenth century/early twentieth century Europe. I spent this past summer studying abroad in Sweden, which proved to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. So, if you have any questions regarding studying abroad, Europe, art, history, or just want to chat please come stop by and say hi! |
