But more importantly, they encouraged me to pursue and develop my specific interests in archaeology by doing an internship one summer. That experience launched me into my career." - Stephen Hinks, a 1982 history graduate who earned his masters degree in anthropology from the College of William and Mary, works as an archaeologist with Goodwin andAssociates in New Orleans, Louisiana.
