StoryCorps on Campus

StoryCorps on Campus
StoryCorps Military Voices Initiative is partnering with Western Michigan University for an oral history project that will record and preserve stories from local veterans, honoring all veterans, service members, and military families.

In mid July, StoryCorps will be on campus to give veterans the opportunity to have a conversation about their experience with a family member, friend, or colleague. Each conversation will be recorded and (with permission) preserved in the Library of Congress  for future generations.
