This year the AAHM is proud to partner with UM’s Wolverine Pathways program. The local arrangements committee has invited Wolverine Pathways students interested in pursuing careers in medicine, history, public health, and museum and archival studies to attend our conference. We are soliciting volunteers from our membership to participate in one-on-one informational interviews with WP students where students can ask questions about your career and learn about how to prepare for their own. We are setting aside time on Saturday morning from 10:30-11 for in-person meetings, but will also have opportunities for zoom interviews for those students who cannot come to campus for the meetings.

Wolverine Pathways seeks to confront the barriers that limit college and career aspirations of highly motivated students from under-resourced communities in the Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Grand Rapids areas. Students in grades 7-12 participate in year-round programming that prepares them for college and challenges them to grow socially and emotionally within their community of scholars. Wolverine Pathways fosters relationships, both professional and personal, that encourage student academic resilience and achievement for college and beyond. Scholars who graduate from Wolverine Pathways and are accepted into UM receive a four-year full tuition scholarship. Because of this, we particularly encourage any interested UM attendees to volunteer for these informational interviews.
