Announcing the 1996 Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation
Commission
Summer Internship Program
The Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (SPHPC) has
created
an innovative regional project which matches the expertise of student interns
with the needs of a
wide variety of non-profit and governmental organizations within the nine county
region which
it serves. Interns are placed in organizations throughout the region to take on
projects which build
community and agency strength in heritage tourism, encourage economic
revitalization, and seek
to improve the quality of life in southwestern Pennsylvania. Regional
organizations compete for
the opportunity to sponsor an intern and SPHPC selects projects which are the
most significant,
useful, well-defined and educationally meaningful.
Projects Require Wide Variety of Students
SPHPC seeks students in fields such as: Architecture, Cultural Tourism, Economic
Development,
Education, Historic Preservation, Historical Administration, History,
Hospitality, Journalism,
Landscape Architecture, Library and Archival Science, Marketing, Museum Studies,
Public
Administration, Public History, Public Relations, Urban Planning and others. The
program is
open to graduate students and to individuals who have a Bachelor's of Arts or
who are rising
undergraduate seniors. All internships last 12 weeks. Graduate students
receive a stipend of
$2000 or $1500 and free housing and senior undergraduates receive a travel
allowance and either
$500 cash or free housing. SPHPC will assist in locating housing for all
interns, whether they are
responsible for their rent or not.
