Sociology Day at the Museum: "Seeking St. Louis"

The Washington University Department of Sociology encourages students to expand their course-related knowledge through several extracurricular and cocurricular opportunities - like this one!

In partnership with the Missouri History Museum, the Washington University Department of Sociology will host the first off-campus field trip of the 2022-2023 academic year. 

"Seeking St. Louis" overviews the sociocultural, political, economic, and historical elements that have shaped St. Louis into the community it is today. 

Participation is limited to the first 15 students; register here. While the Sociology Department will guide a walking tour to this off-campus exhibit, students that coordinate their own transporation to the Museum should check in with the Academic Coordinator to share their anticipated plans.  The group will leave Seigle Hall, Suite 213 promptly at 2:00 p.m. Students participating in walking transportation should arrive no later than 1:50 p.m.

"No-show" participants will forfeit their place in future field trips. This exhibit is free of cost and is self-guided.  Students must return to the designated Museum check-in no later than 4:30 p.m. Students walking to the exhibit can expect to return to campus at 5:00 p.m.
