Many history majors have enjoyed internship opportunities as legal interns as well as interns in public history in the Lynchburg and Amherst County Museum Systems, at nearby Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, at the Avoca Museum in Altavista, in historic Hudson Valley, N.Y., and in the Walters Gallery in Baltimore, Md.
Several of our history majors have also done research at the George C. Marshall Library in Lexington under the Marshall Library Fellowship Program.
Interested students are encouraged to contact the department's Internships Officer, Dr. Clifton Potter at 434/544-8623 or E-mail: potter.c@lynchburg.edu, to begin the process of setting up an internship.
Following approval from a student's academic advisor, the Career Development Center, located in Burton Center, works with the student to obtain a suitable internship.
