Honors History Student Earns Library of Congress Internship
June 08, 2020
Keely Shaw of San Angelo, a senior history major and honors student at Angelo State University, is one of just 40 college students nationwide selected for the 2020 Library of Congress Junior Fellows summer internship program.
Toward the end of the internship period, the fellows will present their most significant discoveries on Junior Fellows Display Day during the week of July 22.
“The opportunities an all-virtual internship provides us are rich and varied,” said Kimberly Powell, chief of internship and fellowship programs. “The staff at the library have mentored and created enduring professional relationships for Junior Fellows for 29 years. This summer, we look forward to continuing that tradition, but in new and exciting ways. We have another set of extraordinary interns this summer. They will leverage their skills, expand their knowledge and experience, and work with the staff to connect users with the library’s treasures.”
The fellows will also participate in virtual professional-development opportunities, including assessments, tours, courses and special events intended to increase engagement with the library.
Shaw is also active in the ASU Honors Student Association and has been inducted into the prestigious Alpha Chi and Phi Kappa Phi national honor societies.
