OSU Libraries and Press offers undergraduates opportunities to
engage in research as part of our developing internship program.
In the spring of 2013, Jessie Leach, an undergraduate in Ethnic
Studies, began creating a dual language (English and Spanish)
online exhibit, to showcase materials within the Colegio César
Chávez Collection. Another undergraduate majoring in Liberal
Studies, Josh Garhofer, worked with faculty from the Libraries and
Press to update the website dedicated to
Ellie’s Log
, the first
children's book published by OSU Press. Garhofer blogged about
his experience at:

The Special Collections and Archives Research Center provides
unique research opportunities for undergraduates. Students can
delve into the holdings of distinctive archival holdings. During fall
term 2013, a U-Engage class, “Untold Stories: Histories of People
of Color in Oregon,” was introduced to the Oregon Multicultural
Archives (OMA). Natalia Fernández, Oregon Multicultural Librarian,
assisted these students through their research process as they
collaborated and used OMA resources to create a campus tour
guidebook featuring the histories of students of color at OSU.
