MESSAGE FROM

THE DIRECTOR

While the Smithsonian (SI) works to increase and diffuse knowledge in so many different ways, my favorite is academic appointments: internships, fellowships and research associate appointments.

Through a great diversity of research associate appointments and fellowship programs, SI strives to increase knowledge by offering a range of independent research and study opportunities related to SI collections, facilities and experts. At the same time, SI pursues the diffusion of knowledge by offering myriad internship opportunities that guide learning in a bewildering range of fields. The great strength of SI academic appointment programs is their diversity. This strength is manifested and amplified by diversity of design, diversity of disciplines, and diversity of people. I am so privileged and proud to see firsthand every day the positive impact these programs make. This impact is only possible because of the many people who work hard to support SI academic programs. If you are among these people, I hope you will read this report with the pride I feel and the satisfaction of knowing that your support for SI academic appointment programs has truly made a difference in FY17. Thank you for all you do to make SI academic appointment programs the very best!

Project SEARCH, an internship program for

young adults with developmental disabilities,

was first implemented at the Smithsonian in

September 2013. Immersed in a business envi-

ronment for ten months, each new class of Pro-

ject SEARCH interns works with Project

SEARCH partners to develop skills for long-

lasting success in the workplace.

This year’s interns were honored with gradua-

tion certificates as paper proof of their accom-

plishments. Several key Smithsonian figures,

including Smithsonian Secretary Dr. David Skor-

ton, Smithsonian Under Secretary for Finance &

Administration/CFO Albert Horvath, and Smith-

OUTREACH

INROADS students pose during their visit to the Smithsonian.

With colleagues from the Academic Appointment Diversity and Publicity Taskforce (AADAPT) in FY17 OFI engaged in over 31 different initiatives to strengthen diversity and inclusion at the Smithsonian through academic appointments.

These initiatives took the form of participation in a range of ca-reer center events, college/university visits, as well as pursuing prospective partnerships and the development of special pro-grams. Some specific examples included:

10/09/16 Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Annual Conference (San Diego, CA)

10/24/16 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Career Development Marketplace (Washington, DC)

11/18/16 CAREERS and the disABLED Career Expo (Washington, DC)

6/09/17 Graduation Ceremony of Project SEARCH interns

6/11/17 DC Pride Festival (Washington DC)

In FY17, OFI launched several new partnerships.

A new style of learning experience was crafted in

partnership with the University of South Carolina’s

Honors College. Five students, representing all

different majors, took part in a three-week Smithson-

ian Open Doors externship course where they visited

14 of the museums and facilities and met with numer-

ous SI staff as they explored concepts of public

knowledge and public trust. Read more about this

program here.

OFI also partnered with the Advisory Council on His-

toric Preservation to create a new annual fellow-

ship opportunity. This fellowship explores cultural her-

itage and how it is preserved, expressed and con-

veyed both in situ at historic sites and ex situ in col-

lections and museums. Each year will focus on a dif-

ferent thematic element. In 2017 the fellows explored

Latino and heritage in collections at the National Mu-

seum of American History, on historic Olvera Street in

Los Angeles, and with the ACHP in Washington DC.

Read more about this program here.

Additional ongoing partnerships can be found on

our Partnerships page.

Started through the generosity of past Smith-

sonian National Board Chair Paul Neely, the

James Smithson Fellowship offers early ca-

reer opportunities for post-doctoral research-

ers interested in gaining a better understand-

ing about the interplay between scholarship

and public policy through a Smithsonian lens.

Under the 2016 theme of Conservation, this

past year Smithson Fellows participated in

monthly group enrichment events as a cohort

to enhance their fellowship experience. These

activities culminated in a public lecture for

each Fellow to present his/her research.

“I can’t emphasize enough how important of an oppor-

tunity this was for me. “ Dr. Karin Burghardt

“This fellowship has been a springboard to propel me on

exciting and meaningful endeavors...My involvement in

bringing science to bear on conservation issues would

not have been possible without the Smithson Fellowship

Program’s commitment to bridging the gap between sci-

ence and policy.” Dr. Matthew Leslie

“The Fellowship allowed me to pursue an exciting area of

research at one of the greatest research institutions in

the world. I valued the chance to share my work through

presentations I am in awe of my year in Washington.”

Dr. Dara Satterfield

“Great cohort, great time, a phenomenal experience.”

Dr. Jeremy Feinberg
