Bio
ABOUT ME
Hey, my name is Alyssa Vargas-Lopez. I am a Pueblo native. I graduated from CSU Pueblo in 2019, where I studied sociology and earned minors in anthropology, art, and honors. Following that, I went to the University of Missouri at St. Louis to get my master’s degree in museum studies. I love going to art shows, crafting, participating in community service opportunities, and hanging out with my friends for trivia night!
WHY CSU PUEBLO
Opportunity at a low cost! Before attending CSU Pueblo, I heard several stories about the projects and trips that past students were able to take part in. Well let me tell you, CSU Pueblo did not disappoint. I traveled to Mexico to our sister campus in Todos Santos for a week, flew out to Atlanta, GA, for a conference, earned an internship at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., and most of my experiences were paid for by the university or my financial aid!
