Please keep in touch! For several years, you are an important part of our lives, and then you disappear! Too often we lose track of our former students. In addition to being interested, it is increasingly necessary to report to the state where our graduates have gone if we wish to retain the resources that make quality education possible. Through the generosity of donors to the History Department, we can continue to expand opportunities for Miami students. Please consider how valuable a resource the program is to our students and help us continue these efforts with a gift.
