Full Description
The Charles Center accepted 23 undergraduates into its summer research internship program – the largest cohort in its history.
Representing a wide array majors, scholarly interests, and academic classes, students will spend ten weeks during the summer working in museums with the Woody Internship in Museum Studies, in local nonprofits and government with the City Research Scholars Internship, or in various media outlets with the Fellowship Internships in Journalism.
In addition to the significant career-development skills gained by working closely with professionals in their field, Charles Center summer interns will also use their time at partnering institutions to conduct an extensive research-driven project serving the organization's mission. Congratulations, and best of luck, interns!
Applications for Charles Center summer research internships will open in November 2024. For more information, see the Charles Center website.
