Outstanding Graduates
As soon as I made the decision to become a history major as an undergrad, I knew my goal was to teach early American history at the college level. An MA was the next step, and the strength of WWU’s early Americanist faculty was a significant draw for me. I could not have made a better choice!
Aaron GibbsOutstanding Graduate, MA
I was always drawn towards the humanities but found it difficult to settle in a major. I ultimately chose history because it enabled me to combine my interests—namely political philosophy, geography, and literature—and understand them more fully by placing them within their historical context.
Marianne KellyOutstanding Graduate, History Major
I’ve always enjoyed learning about history, and this is one of the things that drove me to the Marine Corps. I became a history/social studies major because I wanted to continue to serve my community as a high school teacher.
