  Hi! I'm Matt Black, I'm a CMU senior with a semester to go. In many ways, my experiences at Clarke have helped me understand what kind of career I want. When I started at CMU, I knew I wanted to be an archaeologist and triple majored in anthropology, history, and mathematics, later adding a Native American studies certificate. However, a research project I did during the end of my sophomore year that largely used sources from the Clarke, introduced me to a field of history I had not previously known about and prompted me to change my history major to public history. After spending my summers at archaeological field schools, I still needed an internship before I could graduate. Given my past experience with the Clarke, I began an internship in January that turned into employment. During that time, I have helped process several collections including past CMU Athletics files, a collection of book auction catalogues related to fly fishing, and the family history of a CMU alumni
