History major learns the value of the subject for local communities

As a history major, Ingrid Buckley �20 found her love of history flourished during her APEX Fellowship at the Southeast Ohio History Center. �The Southeast Ohio History Center is an organization I had the pleasure of getting to know throughout the past two years,� said Buckley. Located in Athens, Ohio, the center collects, preserves, and shares Southeast Ohio�s unique cultural and natural heritage. Buckley managed the center�s donations and inventory, set up exhibits, and conducted research. ��

Through her APEX Fellowship, Buckley noticed history�s ability to support one�s local community. �Valuing local history is important,� said Buckley, �by doing so, you give value to your community.� Buckley hopes to��continue community service through education. �This internship provided me with valuable skills for this profession and has helped me to make connections for any future pursuits within this field.���
