Know Indiana Internships

 
Thomas Warn '10 works as a Know Indiana intern at the Montgomery County Historical Society in Crawfordsville, IN 

Through the Know Indiana internship program, Wabash is able to fund a number of paid internships that enable Wabash students to work directly with nonprofit organizations and governmental entities who promote culture in the state of Indiana.  During the summer of 2008, Anthony Morton and Spencer Elliot secured internships with the Indiana Repertory Theatre in Indianapolis, IN. Alex Thompson secured an internship at the Lew Wallace Study & Museum in Crawfordsville, IN.

The Know Indiana program funds summer intern stipends at $2816 for 8 weeks.  College summer housing is available to Wabash student interns and research assistants only during the funded period between May 11 and August 26, 2009.  Summer housing is guaranteed only if the request is submitted to Wabash Works by April 13.  If housing is available after that date, it will be on a first-come basis.
