Internships

AAMW students are encouraged to take an internship at the Penn Museum for credit during the second semester of their first year. These internships have taken a number of different forms. Some students have focused on researching and writing more complete entries for the Museum catalogue. Others have done research in various labs at CAAM. Still other studentshave worked as exhibit interns for both temporary exhibits and permanent galleries. The following is a list of some recent projects that AAMW students have done.
