2017 Pohanka interns spring workshop

On a beautiful April afternoon, CWI’s Peter Carmichael and Jill Ogline Titus led a pre-internship workshop for the 21 students who will intern up and down the East Coast this summer under the auspices of the Brian C. Pohanka Internship Program. Interns joined Carmichael and Titus along Seminary Ridge near the Virginia Monument for a “sample” interpretive program on the Third Day’s assault and an informal conversation about interpretive techniques. The workshop wrapped up with dinner in Specialty Dining, where the veteran Pohanka interns in the group shared their experiences and advice with the first-timers. In just a few short weeks, these students will be giving their own programs in interpretive settings ranging from Georgia to Massachusetts.
