## Interns

The Howard University Undergraduate Internship is a two-year program that aims to create pathways to careers in museums and arts-related organizations for participating students. As a capstone to their first year, interns crafted individual National Gallery tours around three works of art, guided by independent research and their developing public engagement skills. In year two of their program, the interns will participate in various departmental projects, with thoughtful guidance by mentors from across the National Gallery of Art.
