Meet Mallory Wickam:
As a student of American history, I have long been fascinated with the American museum. When I discovered the museums and material culture track of American Studies at GW, I knew it offered the flexibility I needed. I love augmenting my theoretical American Studies knowledge with practical skills, like managing museum collections.
