Congratulations to Katherine Leddy! CCS recognized Katherine’s achievements by awarding her Outstanding Senior for spring 2023!
Katherine will graduate this week with a major in Comparative Cultural Studies with an art history emphasis and a second major in Anthropology. She will begin the graduate program in Archaeology at NAU this fall and continue to work at the Clara M. Lovett Art Museum on campus. Katherine originally wanted to major in nursing until she enrolled in ARH 143 Arts of Asia. She loved the class and material so much that she changed her major and later she even served as a teaching assistant for the class. Katherine considers her recent research project “Wartime Trauma in Greek Vase Painting: The Suicide of Ajax” her biggest accomplishment in the last two years. She writes “Working with Dr. Carpino, my faculty mentor, I created a speech and poster which I presented at two different symposiums. This project felt like a culmination of my art historical knowledge and writing skills that I worked on for the last four years.”
