| Mentoring Philosophy | Over the course of my career I have supervised over 100 internships that have allowed students to engage in research projects of lasting significance beginning with the Rutgers Oral History Archives. A good intern will be able to take broad direction and work independently. Over the course of an internship, I work with a student to plan the next steps of their career whether it is another internship, graduate school, or the first job after graduation. |
