Michigan in the World
Michigan in the World (MITW) is a paid undergraduate internship program where students develop online public exhibitions of research about the history of U-M and its relationships with the wider world.
MITW is a partnership between the History Department and Bentley Historical Library. Working with a faculty expert, graduate student coordinator, and Bentley archivists, students engage in extensive original research in campus archives and present their findings in a digital exhibit designed for public and classroom audiences. Recent topics have included: Black community-building in the Ann Arbor area; mental health at U-M; the university’s relationship to the Philippines; and Black women at the university.
