Summer Internships: Williams College student Interned at Gardner Museum03:43PM / Tuesday, October 13, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Late this summer the Steamboat Foundation celebrated its Sixth Annual Final Dinner at New York City's Harvard Club, where Emma Steinkraus 2010, a rising senior at Williams College from Fayetteville, Ark., and 12 other Steamboat Scholars officially commemorated the end of the 10-week internship and leadership development fellowship.
This past summer the Steamboat Foundation provided 13 Steamboat Scholars from different universities with internships in a variety of fields, such as journalism, medicine, and art history. Each scholar is given $12,000 and the opportunity to live and participate in leadership-building initiatives with the other scholars.
An art major, Steinkraus worked in the contemporary program at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston with artists-in-residence, including David Wilson, a MacArthur "Genius " grant recipient who is director of The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles; Taro Shinoda, a Japanese installation artist; and Luisa Lambri, an Italian photographer.
Steinkraus is one of four students from Williams College who have been chosen for the honor. The others were Adam Weber 2007, Kim Dacres 2008, and Matthew Lincoln 2009, who were selected for the fellowship and worked at the Gardner Museum.
Williams students wanting more information about the Steamboat Foundation internship should contact Ron Gallagher in the Office of Career Counseling. The application deadline is Jan. 8, 2010.
Selection for the fellowship is based on students' academic and extra-curricular achievement, potential for leadership, and financial need. |
