Career Development

Apply for Funding
Garnering work experience across the undergraduate years can prove vital to setting up job opportunities for the future. Many creative industry internships aren’t paid work experience, but the F.M. Kirby Access & Opportunity Endowment Fund’s Professional Development Grant is an option for students seeking additional funding.

A variety of additional funding resources can be found on the WFU Humanities Institute page. Click here to explore these opportunities and find what’s right for you. We strongly recommend the ‘Undergraduate Student Stipends for Participation in International Conferences/Activities’ which allowed previous creative students to attend events such as documenta14 in Kassel, Germany and Art Basel in Switzerland.
Additional Opportunities and Internships
The START Gallery is managed by a recent graduate of Wake Forest University as part of the Wake Forest Fellows Program. The manager assumes a year-long position as a Wake Forest Fellow and as a full-time staff member of the University.
