Black Life At Bellevue Intern

What I liked

I enjoyed the opportunity to engage with Bellevue history amid gentrification. I very much enjoyed learning methods of vernacular architecture, oral history conduction, archival research, and deed research to aid in community development research in Black spaces.

What I wish was different

I wish the details of the internship were made more clear

Advice

One piece of advice would be to never ignore a chance to learn something new.

Intern

July 2019 • Chestertown, MD

What I liked

I liked being able to interact with both the interns and students, and being involved within a growing creative writing community with people from all walks of life involved making art come to life together.

What I wish was different

Maybe just a brief little training going over what might happen if a potential student suffers from an anxiety or panic attack--we need to make sure that they are safe and know we're looking out for them.

Advice

Really get to know the students coming here to visit, and really make it fun for them--you'll never know who might come to WC because of those experience!

Desk clerk

May - August 2019 • Chestertown, MD

What I liked

I liked that I had flexible hours and that I had time to pursue other interests, such as lacrosse.

What I wish was different

the schedule was not predetermined and there was only one other employee, so if we were both out it would make things difficult

Psychologist Research Assistant

June 2019 • Chestertown, MD

What I liked

I loved being able to work with human participants for data collection using an electroencephalogram

What I wish was different

I wish I could have spent more time in the lab. I have a part time job as a waitress at The Kitchen at the Imperial, so I had to balance my paid job with my volunteer work

Advice

I learned how to collaborate with other colleagues to generate new ideas regarding EEG research and also learned how to properly analyze and discuss relevant research articles alongside data collection
