Sadique Oddoye<\/strong>, current MA student, will be attending the PhD program in African History at the University of Miami. Congratulations Sadique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Hall<\/strong>, PhD student in History with a Public History minor, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, \u201cGenerational Remix: Restorative Amplification in Sansei and Yonsei Interpretations of the Japanese American Incarceration.\u201d  Great job, Patrick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of our PhD students, Jim Olmsted, Ken Bartelt<\/strong> and Matilda Ansah<\/strong>, have all been accepted as \u201cOLLI Scholars\u201d for the 2026-2027 academic year. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers classes for students in the Milwaukee area. They have raised funds for a great opportunity for 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s graduate students to offer classes based on their research. OLLI Scholars receive mentoring about their presentations, teach a class, and are also provided a stipend. Very impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitalis Nwashindu<\/strong> has been honored with the Distinguished Dissertation Fellowship for the 2026-2027 academic year. This incredibly competitive fellowship recognizes Vitalis\u2019 hard work and dedication to our program and the University. Well done and well deserved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
