Although many UAFS students will have internships this summer, Claire Hollenbeck says hers is a true gem. “I think it’s one of the coolest internships out there,” she confided. Hollenbeck, who expects to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science next May, will spend eight weeks this summer in Washington, D.C., as the John Paul Hammerschmidt Research Fellow for Arkansas Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers.

Throughout the summer students, faculty, and staff at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith will release weekly reading (and watching) lists, centered around amplifying diverse voices, and sharing fulfilling, fun, moving, and monumental stories with the UAFS community.  For the fourth week of this summer series, the dedicated librarians at the UAFS Boreham Library created a list that celebrates and honors the LGBTQIA+ community and the excitement of Pride Month.
