  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.

I spent a lot of time this year fixing up older reels instead of creating new ones– which I especially enjoyed, because it meant that I got to see older footage.  (One of the reels I worked on was actually recorded before my mom was born!)  This summer, I’ll be studying art history in Italy, practicing ...
