Frank G. Valtierrez ’22 (Economics)
I am a Senior Economics Major from Fridley, MN. I definitely enjoyed working as a DHA last year and cannot wait to see what kind of projects we create this year! One of the main reasons I enjoy working as a DHA is it allows me to use the digital skills I possess and also learn new ones that will either be beneficial or even useful to have in the future.

Hello. I am a senior majoring in Psychology and Political Science. I worked as a Disability Peer Leader before.

Hello! I am a senior History Major taking minors in Archaeology and Medieval and Renaissance Studies. This will be my second year as a DHA, and I am eager to continue to develop my skills in this field, so that I can one day apply them to my life after Carleton, as well as to my coursework. I find that Digital Humanities can be invaluable in the field of historical preservation, as well as in education. By digitizing and 3D modeling artifacts and historical records, we can make history more accessible to the public, while simultaneously preserving it for generations to come.
Luna Yee ’21 (Computer Science/Linguistics)
I am a senior Computer Science and Linguistics double major and this will be my third year working as a Digital Humanities Associate.

Benjamin Weiss ’16 (History)
I’m a senior History major, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have other more “digital” interests. I’ve tried a smorgasbord of classes relating to technology, from developing evolutionary algorithms for artificial intelligence to learning how to program synthesized instruments using MIDI. What I love most about the digital humanities is its fusion of topics I’m extremely interested in (e.g. history, literature, etc.) with tools I find fascinating.

I’m a Math/Stats and Computer Science major from the class of 2017. I was led to the digital humanities by my interest in how to apply quantitative and technical solutions to the research questions asked by disciplines other than just math and computer science. I love seeing these two worlds come together.

My name is Wanchen Yao and I’m a Computer Science/Economics double major graduating in 2017. I’m interested in saving the world and eating food.
