Daniel Baxter<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 A University of Mississippi<\/a> senior has a prestigious internship this summer as a junior fellow at the Library of Congress<\/a> in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Accountancy<\/a> major Daniel Baxter, of Brandon, was among 40 people chosen as junior fellows out of more than 700 applicants.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very honoring and rewarding experience being chosen to be in this very important internship,” Baxter said. “I’m excited to be one of the interns able to represent the state of Mississippi and very excited to represent Ole Miss here at the Library of Congress.”<\/p>\n

The Library of Congress is the world’s largest library, offering access to the creative record of the United States and extensive materials from around the world on-site and online. Its Junior Fellows Program allows interns to witness the extensive work done at the library.<\/p>\n

The program, which runs from May 29 to Aug. 3, gives the students projects across the library’s divisions.<\/p>\n

“The junior fellows help bring the Library of Congress’ unparalleled collections and resources to light through projects focused on expanded access,” said Eric Eldritch, program coordinator. “At the same time, they gain exposure to a broad spectrum of library work \u2013 preservation, digital initiatives, educational outreach, information management \u2013 under the mentorship of expert curators and specialists.”<\/p>\n

Baxter is working on projects for the National Book Festival<\/a>. Some of his job assignments include documenting the history of the festival, producing a video on the importance of the National Book Festival to help promote it and assisting during the festival’s event planning process.<\/p>\n
