Historians-



We have extended the application deadline for History Fellows in Spring 2026.  You now have until March 16th to apply.



Are you nervous about what you will do after you graduate? Thinking ahead about next steps in terms of jobs - what kinds or how to apply for them, internships or even thinking about possibly applying for graduate or professional school?  Are you thinking about potential careers and also could use two additional credits? If so, then try History Fellows!  History Fellows is a course the department put together to help students workshop the next steps in their career and job application planning.  Don't miss this amazing opportunity.



The History Fellows Program is a professionalization and career preparation program for undergraduate students interested in pursuing non-academic careers.  In Spring 2026 it will be a 2 credit class (CR/NC) taught by Julie Osborn, Director of the History Writing Center, meeting once a week on Thursdays from 11:30 - 12:20.  https://history.washington.edu/history-fellows-program



In collaboration with the University of Washington's Career & Internship Center, the program helps students workshop their next steps: preparing strong résumés, enhancing interview skills, and building networks through personal contacts and social media. The program helps students find internships and jobs in local businesses and organizations, exposing students to the dynamics and demands of fields that interest them. Fellows will emerge more confident in themselves and more prepared for the challenges that await them in their career endeavors.

There is an application for the class, but the main purpose of it is to gather information about where you are right now in preparing for the work world.  The application is due on March 16th, through this Google Form:
