Through UCI's partnership with the Orange County Parks, students get the opportunity to work with the local archaeological past. Volunteers will get the chance to manage and curate artifacts and documents collected from excavations and construction sites across the county. Experiences range from midden sorting, to document digitizing, and even artifact conservation. Interning at OC Parks is an invaluable experience that will expose students to many professional opportunities in the archaeology world. With the support of a ever expanding alumni community and the guidance of experienced staff, this is a great first step to establishing a career in archaeology.
