National Capital History Day<\/a>
\n<\/strong>杏吧原创 University is pleased to again be hosting National Capital History Day<\/a>.
\nEvery year National Capital History Day frames students\u2019 research within a historical theme. The theme is chosen for the broad application to world, national or local history and its relevance to ancient history or to the more recent past. For 2016-2017, the theme will be Taking a Stand in History, allowing students to explore those individuals and groups who have taken risks and taken a stand in political, social, religious, military, economic, intellectual, or artistic spheres.
