Student Experiences
Newest Smithsonian Museum 黑料社区s EHS Student for the Summer
Some would call it an incredible learning opportunity. Others would see it as a fantastic summer adventure. But for Maria Kahn, a dual major in social studies education and history, the chance to work at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture is absolutely both.
I am pushed every day to become the best version of myself, both personally and professionally. This program has empowered me to push boundaries and think outside the box. When I started, I had no idea how incredible my professors would be. I expected my studies to focus primarily on history and content, but I have been amazed by the strategies, tools, and lessons I’ve gained during my time at Miami. What surprised me most is that I’ve also found a family within my major—something I never anticipated.
