We continue our 20th anniversary intern alum spotlights with Sam Hesler, Marist ‘19.  

Sam majored in History and Communications (journalism) and is currently a television news reporter and anchor at NewsChannel 13 in Albany. She shares the following experience as a highlight of her time with HRVI:

"My favorite experience from HRVI was researching and writing about Laura Johnson Wylie! She was truly a trailblazer in the women's suffragist movement in Poughkeepsie. To this day, I think that was one of my best experiences at Marist College. I learned so much, and it was an incredible feeling to have my work published. Learning about Wylie was inspiring to say the least!"

Read her full update here. This update, and all of the updates to be featured this year, will be linked to each alumni's name on the Interns page of the website.
