The Department of History, the Program in Medieval and Early Modern Studies, and the Program in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations welcomed students to a live historical fencing demonstration in the Central Quad March 25.

Attendees were regaled with a German longsword exhibition presented by Nachreisen Historical Fencing and students were able to learn more about the programs’ upcoming course offerings ahead of fall registration, all while enjoying free snacks on a sunny spring afternoon.
