What Were You Involved in at F&M? When I was at F&M I was involved with Hillel, Chabad, and Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity
Favorite Thing about F&M: My favorite thing about F&M is the people. Everyone I’ve met has been nothing but kind and my professors are always there to help me and love working with students.
Why Did You Choose to Work at the Museum? I chose to work at the museum after i graduated because I enjoyed working there as a student. I had opportunities there that other students at other colleges wouldn’t have gotten and the experiences I’m having working at the museum now will help me in graduate school and afterward too.
How Long Have You Been Working There? I worked at the museum as part of a work study job in my senior year and I’ve almost worked there a year after graduation (started in July)
What’s Your Favorite Thing about the Museum? My favorite thing about the museum are the exhibits and how this year they have been a mix of museum collections and traveling works. I like seeing how different types of works can all relate to one another.
