QuikPic: new interns coming

Our spring semester interns arrive later this week. We usually have two students during the spring semester, but we’re lucky to have three starting on January 14. They are all smiles now… we’ll see what happens once we put them to work.Read more

Interns continue to help us out.

Davidson County Community College has a zoo keeper program. We typically get student interns every year. We help train them on what it is like to be an animal keeper.  I received an email from former intern Jill Sharp recently about their Haunted Trail event next week. The students are earmarking the funds they raise to help support the care of the animals at the Museum. YAY FOR OUR INTERNS FOR CONTINUING TO HELP US OUT.    Read more

We’ll introduce them to you in January when they arrive.  Read more
