May Wang ‘20
Adams House
"The World from Within," "Reading the Fine Print"
May Wang is a senior in Adams House studying comparative literature with a secondary in astrophysics. The Museums have been integral part of May's academic and intellectual growth from the very beginning of her time at Harvard: some of her first literature sections/seminars were held in the Art Study Center, which fostered intermedial interactions with art and literature that have profoundly shaped the way she has approached her literary studies since. Elsewhere on campus, May is the senior choir secretary and a Choral Fellow in the University Choir of Memorial Church (among other sundry musical activities, including at HAM!) and edits for the Harvard Political Review.
