Introducing the Spring 2013 Undergraduate Interns
Fourteen Loyola undergraduates are putting the skills they learned in the classroom to work in archives, museums, gardens, and even on the streets of Rogers Park this semester as part of HIST 398: the History Undergraduate Internship. They are learning first-hand from professionals about the many ways in which History can be put to work. In return for interning for a minimum of five hours a week, they earn three course credit hours and satisfy the college’s Engaged Learning Credit. Live vicariously through their experiences by following their weekly blog posts. Who knows? You might find a new place to visit, a new subject to study, or an internship to undertake yourself!

Mystic Seaport Summer Internship Program
Spend your summer (mid-June to August) on the banks of the beautiful Mystic River as you learn about museums and maritime history.
Mystic Seaport is seeking a select group of upper-level undergraduates and graduate students who are passionate about history and curious about museum work. See how the academic history you've studied in school is translated into public history at the nation's fourth largest history museum. One to two days each week will be spent working closely with museum staff on a specific project or research topic. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at a variety of museums through weekly off-site field trips. A weekly discussion seminar, assigned readings, and presentations by Mystic Seaport leaders will introduce you to museum theory and current best practices. Two days each week (including one weekend day) will be spent as an exhibit interpreter, bringing what you've learned to a broad public audience. For 2013, research projects will contribute to the planning of exhibits, programs, activities, and events surrounding the upcoming 38th Voyage of the whaleship, Charles W. Morgan.
