The Lepage Center is proud to introduce this year's graduate fellow,
Lori Wysong, MA'21.
Lori received her undergraduate degree from Washington College, where she majored in History and minored in Spanish and European Studies. At Villanova she's concentrating on public history, with the intention of building a career in either museums or historic sites.
On working at the Lepage Center during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lori says, "I love public-facing history projects, but the pandemic is causing public-facing organizations to adapt. I appreciate that the Lepage Center, rather than backing down, is hosting just as many events as usual with the same quality of content. History doesn't stop being important."
As the Lepage Center executes its mission to bring historical scholarship and perspective to bear on contemporary issues, communication with external audiences is a key component of the work. Student fellows assist the Center in all its communications, including events, briefings, blog posts, social media, and the Web.
