The University of Michigan Museum of Art is thrilled to welcome three new interns this summer, who will help bring several important projects and exhibitions to life for the Museum. Read more about them below, and keep an eye on future opportunities to join our team.

UMMA Applebaum Interns

The UMMA Applebaum Internship is an exclusive initiative of Applebaum Fellows and Applebaum Family Philanthropy, providing internship opportunities across SE Michigan for young people to inspire entrepreneurship, independence, and leadership. In 2022 UMMA will host two UMMA Applebaum Interns, who will join a community of Applebaum Fellows — motivated individuals embodying an entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to reach a great personal and community potential.

She looks forward to working with everyone at the UMMA and making the best out of everyone's experience through this summer program.

Diana will be joining the UMMA team as the UMMA Applebaum Intern for the FUN exhibition, where she will help develop creative and engaging online and social media content for the exhibition.

American Association of Museum Directors Intern

The University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) Internship is a 12-week program that provides a dynamic opportunity for students—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—who have begun to solidify their academic interests and explore potential career paths. The intern will be paired with a mentor—a member of UMMA’s senior leadership team—who will direct their activities and provide overall counsel on their professional development. The UMMA AAMD Intern will attend the American Alliance of Museums’ annual conference in Boston from May 19-22, 2022. The UMMA AAMD intern will join a cohort of ten AAMD Interns who are participating at museums across the U.S.
