The History Students' Association is a course union that aims to bring together students and professors with a common interest in history by hosting a number of social and academic events throughout the year. It is also available for consultation on history courses and other history program-related concerns and queries.

The HSA publishes an annual journal of undergraduate student work entitled "The Future of History" and gives students a voice in curriculum and policy-making within the department by representing students at History Department meetings and the Undergraduate Program Committee.

The History Students' Association depends on the interest and participation of history students - every student who takes at least one-half course in history is a member of the student association. Course representatives are elected at the beginning of the semester, and a new Executive is elected every spring.
