Know Indiana Internships

Williams '08 spends summer as Know Indiana intern at the Lew Wallace Study 

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.  These internships provide a summer stipend of $2668.  Internships are typically 8 weeks in duration, though some internship providers will accept and even desire interns willing to work for 12 weeks over the summer.      

In the past several years Brett Gann, Tom Elliott, and Ivan Acebo Choy secured internships with the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Indianapolis Civic Theatre, and the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.
