» Introducing our Spring 2025 Interns
Renee Atkins
Hello! My name is Renee Atkins. I am a History major and Communications minor. This is my junior year of college and I graduate in 2026! My career goal is to one day be an archivist or something in that general path. I am not sure where I want to go, but I thought this would be a great place to start. I have been interested in interning at the Avery Research Center since my freshman year of college when I came for a tour with my African American Studies class and knew from that day that I had to make my way back somehow.
Bre Jones
My name is Bre Jones. I am a Public History Graduate student in my 3rd semester. My career goal is to work in a museum or university archive. I wanted to intern at Avery to gain experience with archival material, and Avery also aligns with my research interest in slavery, emancipation, and abolition.
