This panel demonstrates the expansive nature of working with historical objects, including archival documents and photos, ancient materials, and curating art exhibitions. Students have perspectives ranging from sociological research, digital archives, archaeology, and work in an art gallery. Through their individual work, they collectively grew to understand the pertinence of public history and its cultural and educational relevance. These internships show how the research and analytical skills developed in the humanities are transferable to a wide range of professions.
