Co-President: Taya Cunliffe
Hi, my name’s Taya!! I’m a 4th year DAL student who majors in history and minors in classics. I have a fascination with Soviet and medieval history, as well as classical antiquity. When I'm not drowning in readings and work, I fill my days with movie watching (so I can update my Letterboxd) and absorbing niche internet lore. I look forward to a great year with y’all as co-president! If your interested in chatting or have any questions you can reach me at: ty368331@dal.ca
Co-President: Teymour Sarwar
Hello everyone! I’m Teymour, co-president of the Dal Undergraduate History Society. I am in my 5th year, completing a combined honors in History and International Development Studies. My majors have led me to a particular interest in colonial history, politics and their intersections within the development field. My passions are travel, cooking, and having conversations about history, current events, or anything else! UGHS has lots of exciting events to offer students from all departments. I hope to see you around!
Secretary: Logan Gluskin
Hi my name is Logan and I’m so excited to be your secretary for the upcoming year! I’m a second year student majoring in history. I’m especially interested in the early modern era to present. I look forward to seeing you at our events this year! Please reach out to me if you have any questions at ky912729@dal.ca
Treasurer: Isabella Gualtieri
Hi, I’m Bella (she/her)! I’m double majoring in History and Political Science, and I’m thrilled to be your secretary! I’m particularly interested in Russian history at the turn of the 20th century, though I’ll fall down a Google rabbit hole for pretty much anything history-related. Outside of academics, I’m an avid reader, music lover, triathlete, and you can usually find me wandering downtown Halifax in search of new coffee shops. Should you have any questions (or just wanna say hi), feel free to reach out to me at igualtieri@dal.ca or instagram @izxgualtieri.

DASS Rep: Jonathan Corkum
My name is Jonathan Corkum. I’m from Nova Scotia and I’m the third year representative for the history society. Right now I’m majoring in Classics and not really doing much else. I’m always willing to get lost in a deep historical or philosophical rabbit hole! In my spare time I enjoy reading, hiking, and rowing. I’m super excited to work with you all again this year!
