AN INTERNSHIP SUCCESS STORY

Emily Oland Squires says she is a proud product of the Maryland State Archives Internship Program. "I applied to the 1995 summer program as a graduate student and was chosen to conduct a biographical research project in women's history. I became so engrossed in my internship project that I offered to continue it as a volunteer throughout the following year for academic credit towards my Master's degree. I applied and was accepted again to the 1996 summer program and returned to act as a peer mentor for the new students. After graduation, I left the Archives, but didn't forget the wonderful experience that I had as an intern. In 1997, I was offered the opportunity to return to the Archives, and now I take great pride in heading our Student Outreach programs. I try to insure that each student we work with has an experience that is as rewarding and as educationally enriching as my own."
