Sage Kaonohi, Spring 2016 Intern
Continue reading below to learn more about what first interested Sage about ‘Ulu‘ulu and her goals while interning with us…
What made you decide to intern with ‘Ulu‘ulu?
Well, I was first introduced to ‘Ulu‘ulu when I had a required seminar from my previous class in Fall 2015 to attend. I was greatly surprised and intrigued by all the media playing on four different screens. The thought of ‘Ulu‘ulu to me was techy and innovative and something that I wanted to learn more about.
What are some of the things you’re hoping to learn during your internship at ‘Ulu‘ulu?
I appreciate the opportunity with ‘Ulu‘ulu. My hopes are to learn more about archival collections and the reasons we use collections as a society. Also, I want to learn more on the trends of social media sites and how to use the trends for my advantage.
