Alumni Conferences
On November 7-8. 2024, U-M History will host its first-ever Undergraduate Banquet and Career Conference, a gathering that will connect current students with the department’s biggest asset: its alums. The event begins the evening of Thursday, November 7, with a banquet at the Michigan League featuring a keynote conversation between bestselling author Brad Meltzer and travel journalist Karen Carmichael with welcome remarks by Mary Beth Norton. The following day, November 8, features a series of roundtables allowing students to directly connect with six U-M History alums—Vivian Flynn, Madison Horton, Andrea Maines, Alexandra Sloan Kelly, Savannah Stephens, and Christopher Wilson—from a wide range of careers, from business to education to museums and beyond.
In 2019, U-M History presented "U-M History in the Public Service: A Vision for the Humanities PhD in the 21st Century." This conference served as a debut for our expanding HistoryLab and PhD internship programs, but also an opportunity to talk with PhD alumni and colleagues about how to expand, improve, and implement our goals. Learn about the panelists and view the program.
