We are happy to welcome five interns to the museum.  We have William Oswald, a master’s student at the University of Illinois, Alexys Diamond, a YSU undergraduate, Stephanie Pavelko, Akron University graduating senior, Jennifer Moats, YSU master’s student, and Jen Ham, a graduate from San Jose’s MILS program working as a digital intern for our archives.

These students will work on cataloging collections and artifacts, creating finding aids, research and will perform museum work over the summer.  Internships are a great way for students to gain practical, real life experience in their chosen fields and allow them to work with museum professionals and staff.  We value our interns and are happy for their contributions!
