Weston Conner

Majored in Anthropology And Music, Minored in English
Muhlenberg College, Class of 2018
From Allentown

I am a student of many disciplines, finding particular joy in Archaeology, Music, and English. Above all else, I enjoy learning and thinking. I am constantly striving to cultivate what the poet Keat's called "negative capability" or the ability to be comfortable in uncertainty. This makes it easier to be comfortable in the unknown and to learn as I go. My motivation and outlook allow me to focus on the task at hand and work to complete it to the best of my ability, even if it is something new to me.
