Dear History Majors- I want to draw your attention, as Director of Internships for the History Department, to this wonderful opportunity. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History has opened its application for 2019 interns. I encourage you to read more below. The Smithsonian is a wonderful place to intern. I myself interned there as an undergraduate, and QC history majors have been successful in their applications in the past. Sincerely,?
