WYATT EXPLORATION PROGRAM
TRAVEL EXPEDITION 2018-2019
Japan and Hawaii: History and Connections
Student Application
Tentative Travel Date: May 2019
The Department of History will select a group of history majors and minors to participate
in a travel expedition as part of the Wyatt Exploration Program. To be considered for
participation, students should submit a completed application directly to the History
Department by the posted deadline below. Applicants will be notified on the status of their
application after a decision has been made.
In evaluating the applications, several things will be considered, but active participation in
Wyatt Exploration Program activities (lecture series, etc.) during the current year will be a
major consideration in the selection process. The department seeks to create a diverse
team of students who have demonstrated their enthusiasm and engagement with the on-
campus exploration activities, who are most likely to benefit from the travel expedition,
and who will work together most effectively as a group.
Most travel expenses for student explorers will be covered directly by the History
Department but some expenses for incidentals, occasional meals, and other small expenses
may be the responsibility of the individual student.
By submitting this application, the applicant understands that the review committee will
also examine University transcripts.
Things to remember when submitting your application:
Attach your Wyatt Passport to the application form.
Attach your essay to the application form.
Confirm that you are a declared History major or minor (this can be done through
SIS or the Registrar’s office).
Submit completed applications at:
University of Michigan-Flint Office of the Provost, 229 University Pavilion.
