Summer Engagement Internship
Join the McClung Museum team this summer as a paid intern! We seek a UT student who can contribute to our mission of enhancing accessibility at the museum by designing and implementing interpretation and education materials for individuals with disabilities.
Spring Undergraduate Internships
Are you interested in a mission-driven career? Get your start by interning at the museum in the spring semester. Earn credit hours while gaining hands-on experience and a broad perspective of the museum profession. Internships are open to all majors, with some preferences outlined for certain positions. Areas of specialization may include:
- Arts & Culture Collections
- Exhibitions
- Environmental Archaeology
- Finance & Administration
- Museum Education and Visitor Services
- Malacology Collection
Each week you will spend eight hours with your direct supervisor gaining skills in your area of interest. Then, for two additional hours a week you will participate in group break-out sessions learning from other museum staff members, going on field trips, and rounding out your experience.
Check back in October for our next call for applications!
McClung Student Advisory Board
The McClung Museum is looking for students who want to do more to support and influence their on-campus museum. Have fun and gain experience with leadership while starting something new at UT. The McClung Student Advisory Board will be open to all current UT students of good academic standing. To learn more, contact Manuel Amaya!

Student-Driven Programs
Each semester, the museum and Student Advisory Board can present some programs developed by, for, and with UT students and student organizations. We let YOU take over the McClung. We provide the space, support, and protection for the galleries and objects, so you can enjoy your museum and build community. Interested in learning more? Contact the Coordinator of Academic Programs, Manuel Amaya, at jamaya@utk.edu to start a collaboration.
