Shannon Foley is finishing up her Museum Studies certificate with this terrific internship way out on the left coast:
My internship at the San Diego History Center starts next week. A large bulk of my internship will consist of me helping the museum create accessible tours and programs for disabled visitors. I will also be helping out with the ‘School in the Park’ program that brings underserved school communities into the museum for hands-on learning. Additionally I will also be doing some work with the local Girl Scouts troops. I am so excited to start! I am looking forward to learning more about California history and experiencing a West Coast museum.
It sounds like a blast, and almost makes up for her leaving us behind for sunnier climes.
