The
Milwaukee Public Museum is offering a summer internship for graduate Museum
Studies students. This internship,
sponsored by the Betty L. and M. Kenneth Starr Internship Fund, runs from
June to August and offers a stipend of $2000 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 150 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.
