Introducing Amanda Hall New Gore Center Graduate Assistant

Hi, everyone!  My name is Amanda Hall, and this is my second semester in the Master of Arts program here at Middle Tennessee State University.  I am concentrating on Public History with a further emphasis in Historic Preservation.  I received my undergraduate degree in history here at MTSU in 2006, and I’m excited that I didn’t have to move anywhere to seek a higher education!  MTSU has a lot to offer! 

I originally trained to become a secondary education teacher, but I have decided the public history field is the best way to reach out to a wider audience.  The Gore Center has provided me with wonderful hands-on opportunities to create displays, process archival collections, and work with the public.  I hope that my experiences here will eventually lead me into a career working for the National Park Service.
