Opinion: Future is bright for Guam, region with history graduates
I teach history at the University of Guam. Our program is small but vital.
My colleagues and I work to develop UOG students’ abilities to think, speak, write, and reflect about the past, its peoples, and their connection to our present.
Students who major in history complete a curriculum in the history of the region and the world that progressively builds their intellectual capacities while allowing them to pursue their personal historical interests.
Before they graduate, majors will have completed a self-directed, original research project and presented their findings to scholars at an academic conference. This is a serious accomplishment. It is therefore not surprising that history graduates can be found doing great things in businesses, non-profits, and graduate schools on Guam and beyond.
