Jacob

What is your name, and where are you from?
My name is Jacob Aupperlee, and I am from Grandville, Michigan.

Where are you going to school, and what are you studying?
This fall I will be a senior at Calvin University. I am majoring in literature with a minor in philosophy.


What are you most looking forward to with your position at the museum this summer?
I am really excited to apply some of my writing skills to the world of marketing in a very tangible way. This summer I will be writing press releases, blog posts, and other material for the museum. I am eager to use my talents to promote local, community-based learning.

What is one of your favorite historical movies or books?
My favorite historical movie is probably Hacksaw Ridge. As a literature major, picking a favorite historical book is much harder. If I had to pick just one (two really), I would probably say the Maus books by Art Spiegelman.

What is your name, and where are you from?
Emma Petrillo. I am from Brighton, Michigan.

Where are you going to school, and what are you studying?

 I’m going to be a junior at Michigan State and am studying Marketing with a Public Relations minor.

​What are you most looking forward to with your position at the museum this summer?

I’m most looking forward to interacting with local businesses, as well as collaborating with fellow interns and Jane (the museum director). I’m also excited about seeing how the museum runs.

What is one of your favorite historical movies or books?
​
My favorite historical movie would be Pearl Harbor or Unbroken and not sure if this counts because it’s historical fiction but The Book Thief for book!



Eleanor

What is your name, and where are you from?
Hello! My name is Eleanor Harris, and I’m from Appleton, Wisconsin.

Where are you going to school, and what are you studying?
I just finished my first year at Kalamazoo College, where I plan to major in history with a concentration in American studies.

What are you most looking forward to with your position at the museum this summer?
I’m excited to begin working as an intern to learn more about the area and the museum’s history. The project I will be focusing on this summer is researching the museum’s history to help create an online exhibit and program. I have a passion for making local history accessible to its community, which is what I plan to do this summer!

What is one of your favorite historical movies or books?
My favorite historical movie happens to be a German movie called Goodbye Lenin.
