Alumni
We need your help and involvement
The Department of History at Western Michigan University is starting a new program intended to help 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 also the financial support to allow them to work without pay for a period of time.
The Department of History is therefore asking all its alumni if they would be willing to help our current and future students both by offering internships and/or mentorships, or by donating to the Department of History so that we can support students financially during their internships. If you are interested either in providing an internship or mentorship, or donating to this cause, please contact Chair Dr. Linda Borish
Department of History alumni at Western Michigan University can keep the department and your friends posted on what you have been doing since graduation.
