Alumni Profiles
Melena Hogan
"I graduated from Aquinas College in 2017 with a double major in History and Art History.
Throughout my studies at Aquinas, my appreciation for art and local history increased
and I developed an interest in historical research. In my junior year I participated
in the Ireland Study Abroad program in 2016 where I was overwhelmed by its historical
sites, national art works, and collection of museums. This year I’m headed back to
Ireland as a graduate student in the Museum Studies program at University College
Cork. The program consists of taught courses, day excursions, a curated museum exhibition,
work placements in regional and national museums, and a dissertation."
