Michigan History has seen quite a few updates since 2009, including some design elements, content changes, and a commitment to telling the stories of all Michigan's peoples. We look forward to continuing to improve our magazine in the years to come! <http://hsmichigan.org/publications/michiganhistory/read/> Check out what we're up to in our latest issue! Calling all volunteers! Michigan History DayR is in need of history enthusiasts to volunteer as judges We need the help of individuals with an interest in history and education to serve as judges at the Michigan History DayR State Finals. The most important qualities for a judge are strong common sense and an enthusiasm for interacting with students. You should have a lively interest in history, but not necessarily a specific background in history. We provide training in how to judge the Michigan History Day entries, and you will be placed on teams with experienced judges. Judges evaluate the participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to the students. As part of the judging process, you will have the opportunity to interview the students who created the projects. One of the pleasures of judging at Michigan History Day is meeting students who have a passion for their topic! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtwHAA2_y7U&t=3s> Watch our Michigan History DayR video. <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> Become a judge! cid:image001.jpg@01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.
