National History Day in Wisconsin
Stevens Point Regional
UW-Stevens Point has hosted the Central Region Contest since 1994. Stevens Point also hosted the State Compeition in 2001 and 2002 before the State Contest moved permanently to Madison. Faculty from D.C. Everest School in Schofield and the UWSP Library were integral in establishing the regional on the Stevens Point campus. The contest is now hosted by the Department of History and International Studies within the School of Humanities and Global Studies. We are very excited to host the regional contest on campus in 2024.
