Alumni

The Department of History helps our majors and minors better prepare for the wide range of careers that await them after receiving their degree. Internships and mentorships are crucial elements in helping students towards success after college, yet oftentimes, students lack the vital personal connections to find internships and financial support.

Alumni can support students during their internships in many ways. If you are interested either in providing an internship or mentorship, or donating to this cause, please contact 

hist-outreach@wmich.edu.

Department alumni can keep the department and your friends posted on what you have been doing since graduation.
