Jamie Myre, HiLS Student, Wins Smithsonian Summer Internship

Jamie Myre, a second-year HiLS student (Advisor Robyn Muncy), has won a prestigious summer internship at the Smithsonian’s Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC. Beginning June 2, Jamie will serve as the publications intern for the Center for the Study of African American Religious Life.
The Museum’s new Center for the Study of African American Religious Life (CSAARL) explores and preserves the history of African American religious and spiritual life.

As the CSAARL’s publications intern, Jamie will assist in the initial process of designing and producing a journal for the Center and the gODTalk film series. In particular, she will perform research in preparation for oral history interviews, develop a collections story to explain the importance of public history to a member of the public, assist with content research for exhibitions already in development, and help with organization and layout for publication.
