History graduate students at West Virginia University have new outlets for professional development beyond the traditional academic career path. With funding from the American Historical Association, the Department of History’s Career Diversity Initiative offers innovative activities and programs to support graduate students as they seek to secure non-academic jobs. One of those activities is an internship with the Historical Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The secretary has a team of in-house experts who produce short- and long-term historical analyses of current defense issues, write books, support speechwriting, host talks by foreign policy experts and more.
