UT Tyler graduate student Donna Giroux was accepted to the Smithsonian Institute internship program at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The Tyler resident, who is studying journalism and art history in the UT Tyler master of arts in interdisciplinary studies program, is spending seven weeks this summer in the gallery’s Office of the Center for Electronic Research and Outreach Services. During the structured learning experience, Giroux is conducting biographical research, working on the Web site and engaging in other projects that are central to the programs of the gallery. The internship provides knowledge and skills as well as contact with accomplished professionals. Dr. Jill Blondin, assistant professor of art, recommended Giroux for the internship. “Giroux is an excellent student in art history and has volunteered in the art department’s slide library at UT Tyler,” Blondin said. “I hope that her experience with the National Portrait Gallery will encourage other art students to apply for museum internships.”
