Update: Summer Internship at the Smithsonian

Excerpt from the e-mail I received this afternoon...

*******************************

Dear Ethel,

We would be delighted for you to join us 
this summer as an intern! After talking with you and reviewing your 
resume, **** and I both feel that your breadth of experience in 
developing programs and activities both for in-museum and online 
audiences will be of great value to us as we continue to improve and 
refine Spark!Lab. In turn, I think it will provide you with good 
experience in working with a large volume of visitors from very diverse 
backgrounds.

I still cannot believe it... two months at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington DC!!! I am sooooo excited!!!

Talk about a dream come true!

It might be time to update this picture taken over 7 years ago :)

  2. Hi Fred!

    Thanks for visiting my site. The Smithsonian Institution accepts a lot of interns throughout the year. Their website (http://intern.si.edu/) has all the information about qualification and procedures for application. If you'd like to read about my internship experience I will be documenting it through my other blog (http://ethelee-blahblahblog.blogspot.com/).
