Digital Research Internship Program
Program Summary:
In the Digital Research Internship program, undergraduates gain technical and organizational skills and build a diverse portfolio of technology projects. Students, working on a scrum team, receive tangible experience in technology and feminist leadership while working on the digital humanities and digital scholarship projects of Tulane faculty in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Students work in technical areas such as digital media, digital archiving, web design, database development, coding, design thinking, UX/UI, and audio/visual editing.
