Internships
An important part of the Museum is providing learning and hands-on opportunities
for HSU students in a wide range of disciplines. From two to ten students
intern each semester and many continue for one or two years working on long-terms
projects.
The Museum staff is dedicated to providing enriching, education experiences
for all students interested in making the commitment to an intership project.
