M.A.R.I interns are integral in helping the Institute achieve its mission of promoting research into the cultures of Middle America and stewarding their rich cultural heritage. They assist with the day-to-day maintenance of the Institute's various collections and efforts to update databases and educational resources. M.A.R.I. staff provide training for students in basic artifact and document handling procedures, working with databases, and other programs for creating educational content. They provide logistical support and guidance as interns develop their own projects to contribute to the Institute's educational and outreach goals.
M.A.R.I. staff have also developed an internship reading component to introduce students to cultural and social issues surrounding museum collections and the ethics of creating culturally sensitive and responsive exhibits. The reading component is required for Anthropology majors.
