Bethune-Cookman University

Bethune-Cookman University will create a curatorial fellowship program at the home of Mary McLeod Bethune, a National Historical Landmark that is part of the university. Grant funds will support the hiring of a recent graduate for a full-time curatorial fellowship to develop community programs; catalog collections; manage social media for the site; and produce a small traveling exhibit about the life of Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune. The fellowship program will provide a professional development opportunity for a novice historian and increase the visibility of the site through social media promotions, creation of a virtual exhibit, and publications. The fellow will also work to establish valuable partnerships in the community and highlight the life of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune through these activities.
