For over 30 years, the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship program has funded generous summer internships for students. Internships aim to reach members of groups underrepresented in museums and visual arts organizations such as those defined by—among other things—socioeconomic status, cultural background, physical or other disability, geographical origin and/or any life experiences that add diverse and underrepresented perspectives. Applications for the internship program is now open and is due on February 4, 2025. https://www.getty.edu/projects/getty-marrow-undergraduate-internships/apply-getty-center-villa/

This panel brings together LMU alumni and past recipients of the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship program. The speakers will discuss their various experiences with the internship programs and offer guidance and tips for a successful application for current students. Be sure to attend if you are planning to apply or thinking of applying!
