SUPPORT FROM DONOR PROGRAM

  • Martha Frick Symington Sanger
  • Helen Clay Frick Foundation
Whether she is packing food for needy schoolchildren, attending theatre productions and lectures, or playing Bingo in the Student Center, 利亚莫里斯 is always busy.

 

“I try to get involved in the community and I’m always convincing my friends to go out and do things,” 利亚说. “I only get to be in college for four years, so I figure I might as well take full advantage.”

For 利亚, that includes a semester abroad this spring at the University of Hull in 英格兰. Hull is one of 30 study abroad programs available to WC students. 

She was drawn to Washington College because of its intimate size and the flexibility of the liberal arts. And when she saw the College’s waterfront area, she knew this was the place for her.

“I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do at first,” she says. “我知道我喜欢 history and working with people. And I knew this was where I wanted to be. 我一直 really pleased that 我一直 able to make connections that have helped me solidify 我的职业规划.”

She made many of those connections through the Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, where she was part of the National Homefront Education Team. 使用口服 histories collected from local individuals who lived in Kent County during World War II, she and fellow team members created lessons and classroom activities that teachers could use as part of their AP history curriculum.

The Starr Center also led her to an Explore America summer internship at the National 档案, where she worked with the museum’s education team. During her 11 weeks in Washington, she worked on three specific projects: creating a flip book commemorating the Women’s Suffrage Movement’s “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions”; making worksheets for second-graders for civics and social studies curriculum; and serving as lead intern on an Escape Room scenario that required adult participants to crack a database to prevent the closure of the National Park Service. The flipbook she made will be available to the public as a printed publication, and the student worksheets will be available to teachers through the National 档案 website.

利亚 intends to apply for jobs with museums, national parks, or libraries where she can focus on education 编程.­­

利亚's Four Year Plan

第一年

最喜欢的课程ENG 209-210 (American Literature)

利亚 appreciated Prof. Rich De Prospo’s holistic approach to American Lit classes. “I like how he uses references to music, movies, and films to offer cultural context,” 利亚说. She spent her first year focused on General Ed requirements.

在实践中学习Exhibition at Starr Center

The “Town of Chester” was a major Port of Entry in colonial America and all the imported goods came through the Custom House—where WC’s Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience is headquartered today. Digging through historical-society records and newspaper archives, 利亚 helped create the exhibition, Chestertown’s Support of Trade.

在实践中学习Internship at National 档案

Through the Starr Center’s Explore America Summer Internship program, 利亚 spent 11 weeks working with the education team at the National 档案. In addition to creating guides for AP history teachers and making civics and social studies worksheets for second-graders, 利亚 made a flip book of the Declaration of Sentiments. 她的手翻 of the document signed at the first women’s rights convention will be published as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of women’s right to vote.
