Ethan Walter

Ethan Walter is a junior studying English at the University of Illinois. At the end of last semester, he began to grow more and more interested in applying to ATLAS, an organization he had heard about at an HPRC meeting. After a meeting with ATLAS' Internship Coordinator Will Newton, he decided to apply. This semester, Ethan is working within the ATLAS Communication Team as a Website Content Strategist. Simply put, Ethan is responsible for creating, reviewing, and revising content that appears on the ATLAS website; additionally, he works directly with ATLAS Leadership to assess viewership trends and work toward greater audience engagement. Through his internship, Ethan has gained familiarity with Drupal, Google Analytics, and Tableau, as well as continued to work with Microsoft Office and Google Suite softwares. As an English major, Ethan's academic interests are oriented around post-modern, modern, and Victorian styles of literature. His favorite class at the University of Illinois has been the "Introduction to the Study of Literature and Culture" course he took with Professor Pollock during the fall semester of 2019. In his free time, he greatly enjoys writing and watching films from around the globe; his favorite film he has seen this year (so far) is "Camp de Thiaroye" by Ousmane Sembène and Thierno Faty Sow.
