The UX Internship is designed for students interested in UX (user experience design) and UI (user interface design.) Interns learn to conduct user research and web usability studies for the Libraries' spaces, services, and online presences, including the Libraries' website, Tripod, and other web platforms. Read about some of our work in the AUX blog!

The Internship is a two semester experience. Look for application announcements each Spring semester after Spring Break, and email Assessment + User Experience Librarian, Mary Huissen, at mhuisse1@swarthmore.edu with questions.
