As an outdoor enthusiast unsure of what I wanted to major I chose to attend Plymouth State University because of the many majors to choose from, and their great reputation for academics. During my freshman year I met some marvelous faculty that inspired me to become a History major with a double minor in Art History and Anthropology/Sociology. At PSU I have met life long friends, and made great connections with faculty who have assisted me in discovering what I would like to do after college, internships, clubs and the chorale, and a job on campus working in the library at the Michael J. Spinelli Special Collections and Archives.
