Ohio University alumnus Mike Rattanasengchanh, who earned a Ph.D. in History and a Contemporary History Certificate in May 2019, accepted a position as Assistant Professor of History at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in closures across the nation.

Despite the unprecedented circumstances, Rattanasengchanh has worked to give his students pathways to success and to find ways to continue his research and writing on U.S. foreign relations and Vietnam War-era Thailand.

Rattanasengchanh currently teaches both online and in person at MSU. His teaching responsibilities include introductory surveys and more advanced classes on Asian Imperialism and the Vietnam Wars from the perspective of Vietnam, along with U.S. Foreign Relations.
