Alexia is a junior in the department from Vancouver, Washington (State!). She is particularly interested in late 18th and early 19th-century United States history and is currently writing her honors thesis on slavery as a political language in the making of the American Union. When she’s not around Lane, you can usually find her at the pool, singing in various theatrical productions around campus, or squirreling away volumes of correspondence from the shelves of Green Library. Feel free to say hi—she’d more than love to chat about the History program, or really anything in between. She also has a background in STEM, so if you’re thinking about double majoring or coming into History from a STEM field, she’d be happy to talk about that, too!

Leila is a senior who enjoys learning about the role of religion in historical contexts as well as understanding the personal, inner lives of historical figures. She also self-studies Soviet and 20th-century American history through examining each respective culture’s artistic output, especially music and film. In Spring 2025, Leila studied abroad in the BOSP Florence program and has since taken a deep dive into Italian language and Renaissance culture. Outside the classroom, Leila loves social dance (especially Argentine Tango), playing classical music, and collecting vintage records. She’s always excited to meet new students and advise on anything history (or arts) related!
