Hi, my name is Mary Clare Swan, and I am a senior from Miami double majoring in Marketing and Finance. I was a History Department Social Media Intern from fall 2020 through the summer of 2021, during my sophomore year. I’ve always loved history, and in this internship, I learned about all the things happening behind the scenes in creating a social media post. It was one thing to read about this in my textbooks and hear about it in my courses, but it was another thing to actually be the one creating the posts.

Hi, I am Cassandra, and I recently graduated from FSU's Department of History. In this project, I explore the connections between a series of government reforms occurring near the end of the reign of King Louis XV and enlightened absolutism. I spent the summer of 2022 studying in Paris and loved seeing all of the history in the city for myself. I chose Dr. Cathy McClive's senior seminar on Claudine Rouge’s disappearance in 18th century France because it would give me a chance to explore more complex themes in early modern French history, which is one of my favorite time periods in history.
