University & College Partners
Digital Human Library is incredibly grateful to our University and College project partners for providing internship programs within their institutions.
Working as a dHL intern under the direction of Leigh Cassell was an incredibly enjoyable and beneficial experience. In my view, Leigh’s approach to bringing me on the team was the very thing that separated dHL from other intern positions I’ve done in the past. Leigh determined my role within dHL by leading with the following question, ‘what opportunity can I provide that is of most interest to you?’ which in turn resulted in a series of projects that I felt passionate working on. Additionally, my experience was one filled with building professional and personal relationships, as well as developing skills in areas that were best suited to my ambitions. I consider myself lucky to have been a part of this organization and to have worked under such a great mentor and now friend.
