XXII. J.E.A. Crake ArtsWork Internships

The Crake Foundation, established by the late J.E.A. Crake, Josiah Wood Professor of Classics and Head of the Classics Department at Mount Allison from 1946 to 1976, offers the J.E.A. Crake ArtsWork Internships which are intended to provide Mount Allison students with opportunities for experiential learning and to enable them to explore career options in the Arts.

  1. The internships will be centred at the University Archives or at the Owens Art Gallery, and can be held for one year.
  2. The internships are open to all students at the university who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.
  3. It is understood that the funding for these positions will not replace funding currently available at the Archives and Owens for student employment.
