The CSUSB student journal, History in the Making has again won national recognition, in what has become a nearly annual tradition for the outstanding student authors and editors. Chief editor and second-year MA student, Evy Zermeno, led the staff and authors of the seventeenth annual issue to publication in the spring of 2024, and the issue was entered into the national competition over the summer and fall. Results were announced December 2, 2024, and the CSUSB students took second place in the graduate print category for the third year in a row.

Find the journal on ScholarWorks here, with pieces that range across a broad spectrum of issues. The issue includes travel pieces on South Africa, Vietnam, and Japan; an in memoriam celebrating the punk legacy of Sinead O'Connor; eleven film, book, and museum reviews; and feature-length research pieces on topics ranging from the local Black USO in the Inland Empire, to gender identity in American history, to cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed in Danish-Iranian relations, to Nazi propaganda, and more.

Congratulations to the student editorial staff, the student authors, and the History Department of CSUSB!
