Where history meets the present

Hi, my name is Veronica Beck.
I am from South city Saint Louis and attended Rosati Kain High School, where I graduated in 2019.
I earned two undergraduate degrees (History and Historic Preservation) at Southeast Missouri State University.
I have been a intern at the Missouri State Archives in Saint Louis as well as the Campbell House.
I was interested in Southeast Missouri State University because of how close it was to home, affordability and the acclaimed Historic Preservation program, and chose to get a master’s in Public History because I have always loved history and I wanted to have a job in it that was not teaching in elementary or high schools.
I really like the Public History graduate program so far because it gives me a great education as well as the ability to finish in a year with the 4+1 program.
The Cape Girardeau/SEMO environment is very different from Saint Louis but I have grown to truly love it and the people.
