Humanities in Action Internship: Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity and University of Mary Washington
February 24, 2022 by

I’m writing to let you know that we will once again be offering the same internship opportunity in the Fall 2022 academic term to all full-time students majoring in the humanities. Again, special preference will be given to those majoring in Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. Cassie Kimberlin, the executive director of the Greater Fredericksburg affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, and I established this internship to give students with commitments to equity and social justice the opportunity to test their specialized training in managing life’s big questions—questions of fairness, equity, human rights—by helping a major non-profit organization address the issue of affordable housing in the Fredericksburg region. … [Read more...]
