The Columbia Undergraduate History Council (CUHC or UHC) is composed of a group of dedicated History majors and concentrators who work together to serve as a transparent and accessible liaison between the History department and the undergraduate history student body. UHC members also serve as student advisors to the Undergraduate Education Committee (UNDED). Membership to the UHC is open each fall by application, and members are expected to serve for at least one full academic year (though standard service length is 1.5 years, typically beginning in the spring of the sophomore or junior year). UHC members engage in a number of independent activities intended to improve undergraduates’ educational experiences in the department.
