Q&A with Dylan Beck: Gettysburg National Military Park Intern

I choose Hood because I was given the opportunity to play baseball and I enjoyed the academic programs offered.

Both Dr. Jay Harrison and Dr. Corey Campion have influenced me tremendously. They have both taught me a lot in the classroom and have helped to give me the knowledge I need to plan for a future career. Dr. Harrison helped me find and execute an internship, which I am grateful for, and Dr. Campion has served as my adviser since my sophomore year. I would also like to acknowledged the entire history department for their support and influence throughout my time at Hood.

My favorite class at Hood was Global Empires I, which I took as a sophomore. I enjoyed this class because the topic really piqued my interest, and I enjoyed learning day in and day out in that class.

I chose this internship because I wanted to see what it was like to work with the National Park Service. The park has a lot to offer and there is a lot to learn there as well.

Currently I am undecided between going to law school and going to graduate school to pursue a degree in history.
