It's really hard to say what is most valuable from this experience; so much of it is brand new to me, working with artifacts, the process of 3D scanning, the entire concept of digital archeology. All of this is both practical knowledge for my major but also will help me as a student while I progress through the program. I think that working with a museum and building relationships is really valuable because I want to continue to work with artifacts and learn through the process of the work that I'm doing."

“Initially, I was enrolled at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. In my time at Clarkson, I found many friends to socialize with but ultimately did not apply myself to my studies. Even from the remote learning setting, I’ve felt like Vermont State University offers a much better sense of community to gather around and keep spirits high. All of my professors know my name, and there aren’t lectures with 200+ students. I’ve enjoyed my time here very much so far.
