Painting of a lionThe Department of History presents the Sterne-lion Colloquium!

The Sterne-Lion Undergraduate Research Award –generously supported by G. Michael Loewe, a 1973 graduate of Wayne State University who majored in History – provides additional funding for history majors who win one of the university's coveted undergraduate research opportunity awards.

The additional support provided by the Sterne-Lion Award has enabled undergraduates to conduct research at archives in Great Britain, Austria, Nova Scotia, China, and South Dakota. Thus far, winners have produced excellent research papers and presented their work at the annual colloquium. The Sterne-Lion Award raises the level of undergraduate research and fosters excellence in history education while fulfilling Wayne State's goal of enhancing undergraduate research.
