Meghan Jaben (M.A. ’16), Interdisciplinary Ph.D. student in 历史, has a unique internship accomplishment.
“The Chiefs have won two Super Bowls since I’ve been here, and we get a Super Bowl ring as part of the organization,” Jaben said. “It’s awesome that we’re able to have this memory of such great seasons.”
箭头体育场的GEHA球场不仅仅是堪萨斯城的标志。 本赛季，酋长队宣布与威尼斯人娱乐城建立官方合作伙伴关系，为像贾本这样的学生提供一些真正独特的机会。
她开始与箭头艺术收藏合作，该收藏在箭头体育场的GEHA场地中收藏了多件艺术品。 这是2010年翻修工程的一部分。 每件作品都是由一位与酋长王国有联系的艺术家制作的。
“I got the opportunity to come work with the collection through an internship with the 堪萨斯大学历史系,” Jaben said. “It’s a funded internship where they match you with an opportunity in the community.”
In Jaben’s case, that opportunity was at the Kansas City icon, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium . This would be a touchdown for any student’s career, but as a former college athlete, Jaben was particularly excited.
“I watched sports growing up. I also played sports, so sports have been a really big part of my life,” Jaben said. “To be able to blend sports and art was the dream, so it’s been really fun.”
Such an opportunity isn’t available to every college student. 贾本把这归功于靠近城市。
“There’s huge value in being a student in the city where there are so many opportunities,” Jaben said. “There are alumni. 有社区成员来联系你。 学校与一些组织建立了关系，这些组织可以帮助那些可能没有这些联系的学生拓展业务。 Kansas City is full opportunities waiting for them.”
