Student Employment
The Mountain Heritage Center is proud to employ student workers: graduate students, work study students, interns, and volunteers. Our goal is to help students advance their experience by working in a 'real world' environment.
Furthermore, an objective for the Mountain Heritage Center is to help students at work on projects that pertain to their field of study. We take pride in treating each and every student worker as a fully fledged team member in our workplace. We are pleased to offer opportunities for students regardless of major. Check out our Facebook Page or Instagram feed to see student workers in action and see this video students created to help others learn more about what we do.
Here at the MHC you can experience mountain history coming alive in front of you. The past collides with the present and as a student employee you can become part of something bigger then yourself. Come join our team!
