5 BYU FPM students are living a political life in Washington, DC for the summer while completing internships with Smithsonian Institution. Under the Office of Facility Management and Reliability group at Smithsonian, the 5 students are shadowing Zone Managers at 5 different areas in the Smithsonian Museum world. Part of an overall group of 9 interns, BYU makes up more than half of the group, but they don't hold that against their new friends.
Sam Scott: Working in the Gallery Place Zone, Sam is working hard on a project to create a maintenance plan for the newly aquired National Postal Museum. His area and projects also cover the American Art Museum as well as the Portrait Gallery. Sam has a goal to see every Smithsonian Museum by the end of the summer! (there are 22!)
Anthon Petty: The newly accepted FPM student is working hard at the National Air and Space Museum and the American Indian Museum, focusing on contracting... taking his new addiction to a new heights! Anthon's taken advantage of free Smithsonian training classes on Federal Contracting and will recieve his COTR certificate by the end of the summer.
Spencer Salmon: As the intern for the largest Smithsonian Musum, Spencer's North Mall Zone covers the Museum of Natural History with 1.25 Million SQFT! He's been working hard on a project with contracting relationships for future maintenance projects. Spencer is all business at the office and all business during his time off! Busy studying for the GMAT, Spencer still takes advantage of the free IMAX and ride simulators for Smithsonian Employees.
Tallon Sessions: Joined the crew this week at the start of summer term and is located in the South Mall Zone, with the Smithsonian Castle and the Quadragle (an underground art museum). Tallon's learning the ropes of working for the government and of the city and knows he has a lot more to learn.
Domineau Wiley: With what she claims as the best museum, Domineau is holding fort at the National Museum of American History--- the newly remodeled building. Home to the Star-Spangled Banner and Stephen Colbert's Self-Portrait, Domineau believes she holds all the bragging rights. Since the museum was reopened in November, many system plans are outdated with previous building walls and structures, Domineau is working on a new Sprinkler Valve recognition system, maps and outlines. She is keeping the boys in line and she's seen the President twice!
