Bridget Newton ‘10, Registrar, Newport Historical Society
While at Providence College, I started taking history classes as interesting electives. Eventually, I had taken enough that it made sense to declare history as my second major. When graduation arrived, I knew that pursuing a career working in public history would allow me to engage with my love of the past every day. In addition to fostering this lifelong passion, my history classes at PC taught me the writing, interpretative analysis, and communication skills that I use daily working with museum collections and historical research.
