CBMM’s internship program provides a ten-week learning experience for college interns wishing to engage, observe, and receive guidance by professionals with similar career interests.
“Our internships provide real-life exposure to the inner workings of a museum and a small business,” said President Kristen Greenaway. “By combining hands-on with field-related projects, we bring meaningful experiences that will help support these students’ career choices moving forward.”
