More about Aidan
Future plans:
Ideally I'd like to someday work at a museum as a curator or some other role, but in general I'd be happy with any career that allows me to pursue my interest in history or historical research.
How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
In general, my major has introduced me to numerous passionate and intelligent professors who have helped me to understand the potential of a history degree as well as develop my goals and aspirations for the future.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your 91勛圖厙 career?
Most likely a final essay I wrote for a core history course which required students to explain their philosophy of history without outside research. Not only was I proud of the final product, but also the fact that I was able to use what I'd learned in the past to construct my own arguments/perspective.
