Company/Organization: J.S. Hewitt Entrepreneurial Ventures, LLC

Description:

We are looking for a history student help prepare historical lectures with accompanying Power Point illustrations to be made to a variety of organizations in the Union County New Jersey area. Having already spoken twice at the Westfield Historical Society and several other organizations on the history of Trinity Church / Wall Street in New York City, we are planning to prepare several additional presentations on other historical subjects. The first two or three presentations will encapsulate points from my dissertation on the goals and purposes of Liberal Education as defined and defended by apologists at Oxford and Cambridge colleges in the first half of the 19th century.

At the students discretion, this history-oriented internship position may be combined with and include participation in business-oriented projects that include real estate investment and business brokerage. The location is a home / office in Mountainside, NJ where two or three other students are working on real estate and business brokerage projects.

Qualifications:

Historical research and writing skills, familiarity with Microsoft Word and Power Point

End Date:

BENEFITS TO THE STUDENT:

• Learn about the context in which individuals at Oxford and Cambridge Universities first developed a rationale to define and defend the value of liberal arts education as distinguished from utilitarian preparation for careers in the market place.
• Gain insight into the intellectual traditions and rationale that undergirds your own concentration in history and the other humanities and liberal arts disciplines.
• Understand and foster the process to translate academic history into terms that may connect with educated audiences outside academe.
• Enhance public speaking and presentation skills.
• Get an exposure to real estate investment and other entrepreneurial business ventures being pursued by other student interns in the office.
