In the autumn of 2024, Lily Crider, a senior at Columbus Alternative High School, joined the Kawsay Ukhunchay Andean and Amazonian Indigenous Art and Cultural Artifacts Research Collection as a high school intern with a passion for museum and curatorial studies. She embraced the collection’s interconnected culture right away, working with undergraduate and graduate students to develop a better understanding of Andean and Amazonian cultures. As the first high school intern, Lily has quickly became an important member of the team, bringing new perspectives and enthusiasm to the collection’s work!
