NHSS Kekaulike Summer Internship with Bishop Museum Ethnology Department
|
|
The Bishop Museum is the largest museum in Hawai‘i and the premier natural and cultural history institution in the Pacific. It is the only museum of its type that is rooted in Hawai‘i and the Pacific. The Ethnology Department currently cares for more than 77,000 cultural objects from Hawai‘i and the greater Pacific, or brought to Oceania through trade, migrations, and diplomatic relationships. Interns will work alongside staff in the Bishop Museum’s Ethnology collections and assist with the ongoing projects of the department. Interns will learn about the Indigenous museology approaches the Ethnology department is forwarding while participating in the care and stewardship of the Hawaiian and Pacific collections.
Native Hawaiian Student Services is offering internship opportunities for Kānaka ʻŌiwi undergraduates attending and continuing at UH Mānoa in Summer 2022, pending site availability and satisfactory progress). The internships are intended to provide real-world work/career experience for students, while helping to strengthen critical partnerships that help to support Hawaiian student success at UH Mānoa. The Kekaulike Internship program is a paid internship opportunity for Native Hawaiian undergraduate students at UH Mānoa and UH Maui College. The internship partnerships are with offices and organizations on and off campus supporting individual student academic and professional success while also strengthening partnerships between the University of Hawaiʻi and the greater Hawaiʻi Community.
Internship can be part-time or full-time during the Summer 2022 term for a maximum NHSS support of up to 300 work hours (but dependent on actual hours worked with site). Work schedules will be negotiated between the site supervisor, student, and the NHSS supervisor. The internship program allow students to gain experience aligned to their academic and career interests while also serving the community. Interns will be paid through the UH Mānoa Student Employment (SECE) or Career Center at the rate of approximately $14.90/hour (rate determined by actual placement and work).
