STUDENT RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The Lepage Center offers Villanova students a range of opportunities to develop transferable skills and professional experience in history, communications and research.
Fellowships
The Center annually selects two to three graduate and undergraduate History students to serve as Lepage fellows. This year-long opportunity provides students with hands-on experience in event planning, programming and communications.
Students interested in learning more about the fellowship should email lepage@villanova.edu.
Summer Internship Program
The Lepage Center offers funding for Villanova undergraduate and graduate students to develop their professional skills with paid summer internships. We partner with historical organizations across the country, providing Lepage interns with first-rate experiences working on projects that serve the public interest.
Internships are open to current and graduating students. Interns work full-time (35 hours per week) for at least eight weeks. The stipend for undergraduate internships is $5,000 while graduate interns receive $6,000. Stipends are intended to cover housing, travel and daily living expenses.

"History Matters" Workshops
Created in collaboration with the Office for Undergraduate Studies and the Career Center, History Matters workshops offer guidance and skill-building advice for students at all stages of their Villanova education.
Workshops feature experts from the Villanova community and beyond working in academia, history, law, education and more.
Whether you're an undecided undergraduate student, a History major, minor or a graduate scholar, we tailor opportunities for all History department members to identify and develop their career paths.
Lunch with Lepage
Over an informal meal, Villanova students, staff and faculty explore current events and issues through a historical lens, using the past to illuminate the present.
Past topics include US elections, culture wars in public schools, archaeological digs in Egypt, suffragist hunger strikes, Black antifascism, propaganda and race riots, the Russian Revolution and more.
