The Lipper Internship Program at the Museum of Jewish Heritage
A Living Memorial to the Holocaust brings together undergraduate and graduate students from across the Northeast to train in New York City for a semester-long internship in museum education and Holocaust studies. The program is designed for students from a variety of fields and backgrounds. The ideal candidate will have a desire to learn and educate, an
appreciation for museums, and an ability to work well with others in a diverse environment.
Prior to the beginning of the fall or spring semester Interns attend an intensive ten-day training session at the Museum in New York City to learn how to teach public middle and high school students about the Holocaust. During training Interns meet with Museum staff, hear testimony from Holocaust survivors, and learn methods for teaching from artifacts in the Museum's collection. Hotel accommodations, meals, and study materials are provided by the Museum.
Following training, Interns visit schools in their college communities to give an introductory lesson in the classroom followed by a guided tour at the Museum. Interns then return to the classroom to facilitate a discussion about the lessons learned during the course of the program. Students of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Lipper Interns receive either a stipend or school credit for their work at the Museum.
The application deadline for the Spring 2007 semester is November 1, 2006. All Interns must be currently enrolled in college or graduate school and available for the full training period in early January 2007 (exact dates to be announced).
Students may download a PDF application from the Museum's website at
http://www.mjhnyc.org/teach_students_b.htm or pick up a paper application at the Office of Career Services. I would also be delighted to arrange a brief on-campus information session with one or more of your classes. Feel free to contact me (msullivan@mjhnyc.org) or my colleague Maureen Keren, Museum Educator for Internships (mkeren@mjhnyc.org), for more details on the Lipper Internship Program. I encourage you to pass this information on to your students by posting this message to classroom newsgroups and departmental listservs.
Cheers,
