Student Board Spotlight Meet your Harvard Art Museums Student Board Representatives!
George Cozens ‘21
Quincy House
George is a British History of Art student who is also on the Varsity Crew team. An avid lover of art from a young age, George spends his time emerging himself in Art History to gain as deep a knowledge as he possibly can. He is also an Undergraduate Curatorial Assistant in the European and American Division of the Harvard Art Museums.
Justin Tseng ‘21
Quincy House
Justin is from California, where he has lived until moving to college. He got interested in Classics when learning about Ancient Greek myths in elementary school and likes learning about history. Justin likes to play chess and explore Boston in his free time.
Nikole Naloy ‘21
Winthrop House
Nikole is from Brooklyn, NY and is currently pursuing a concentration in the History of Art and Architecture and wants to find a career that merges the curatorial attention given to the art world with that of the retail fashion industry. Nikole is particularly interested in tracking visual modes of expression as they manifest in our Museum exhibits and on campus. Apart from being a member of the student board, she is the founder and editor-in-chief of the College's only fashion publication, Fig. Magazine, and an artist liaison for the Harvard Student Art Collective. In her free time, she dabbles in oil painting and loves scouting out the best thrift shops around Boston with her friends. Back home, she spends most of her time around Brighton Beach, eating Russian food, and spending time with her little siblings.
Shivani Aggarwal ‘21
Winthrop House
Shivani is a junior in Winthrop House from Northern New Jersey, studying Integrative Biology with a secondary in Economics. Besides her involvement with the Student Board at the Harvard Art Museums, she is a mentor at the Harvard EdPortal, working with students from the Allston-Brighton area, and a representative for Winthrop House on the Undergraduate council. She is excited to explore and understand curation and conservation at the Harvard Art Museum, and intersections between science and art.
