GRADUATE MUSEUM INTERNSHIP
                                                    SUMMER 2002

The Milwaukee Public Museum is offering a summer internship for Museum Studies graduate students.  This internship, sponsored by the Betty L. and M. Kenneth Starr Internship Fund, runs from June to August and offers a stipend of $1000 for assistance in travel and living expenses.

Candidates must be enrolled in a graduate degree-granting program in Museum Studies.  (Students enrolled in an advanced program with an emphasis or certificate in Museum Studies or Museum Science do not qualify for this award.)

A variety of internship opportunities exist in areas such as Anthropology, Botany, Conservation, Education, Exhibition, Geology, History, Registration, and Zoology.  All internships, however,  depend on availability and some require previous experience and/or classes. The award
recipient is also required to perform at least 125 hours of internship work.

Applications should consist of a statement of purpose, a resume, and two letters of recommendation.  Selection of the award recipient will be based on availability of a compatible internship and the applicant's present abilities and potential.

Application deadline is March 15, 2002; notification by March 29, 2002. AA/EOE

The Milwaukee Public Museum, one of the largest in the United States, is a museum of natural history.  It was created in 1882 when the city of Milwaukee accepted approximately 20,000 objects and specimens from the Natural History Society of Wisconsin for the purpose of creating a
public museum.  Currently, the museum houses over 6 million specimens in the fields of Anthropology, History, Zoology, Geology, Botany, Education, and Photographic archives. In addition, the museum maintains a research library of over 125,000 volumes and the Education Department
serves over 325,000 people a year.   Annual attendance is almost 1 million.
