Testimonial

"Each internship taught me valuable skills I could not have learned in a classroom, including the technical aspects of how to be a professional historian and the soft skills of navigating different workplaces… I believe I would not have the career I have today if not for my experiences as an intern."

Aimee, Class of 2020 | Master of Applied Historical Research
