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.

On March 23 at 5pm at the Rendina Room, FSU Alumni Center, David Blight will deliver the Department of History's 4th annual James P. Jones Lecture. Blight is Class of 1954 Professor of American History and Director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University.
