Cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde

The University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Museum of Natural History partners withÌýMesa Verde National ParkÌýeach year to offer immersive summer internships focused on cultural heritage, tribal engagement, and museum exhibition design. This program provides Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô students with a four-week (150-hour) hands-on professional experience, supported by a work, travel, and lodging stipend. Open to current and graduating Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô students, the internships are designed to build practical skills while contributing to meaningful, real-world projects. For students in the Museum and Field Studies (MFS) graduate program, the experience may also fulfill second-year internship requirements, in consultation with program advisors. Together, this annual partnership reflects a shared commitment to inclusive storytelling, collaborative research, and preparing the next generation of museum and heritage professionals.
