NDSU student Mohamed Abdirahman, an English major from St. Paul, Minnesota, has been selected to participate in the prestigious Junior Fellows Summer Intern Program at the Library of Congress. The summer fellowship began June 1 and is scheduled to end on Aug. 7.
Abdirahman was one of 36 college students from across the country selected for the program. They were chosen from a pool of nearly 800 applicants.
The 10-week program offers undergraduate and graduate students insights into the environment, culture and collections of the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of human knowledge. The fellows explore digital initiatives and inventory, catalog, arrange, preserve and research a backlog of special, legal or copyright collections in different formats.
Abdirahman is a Ronald E. McNair Scholar and co-president of NDSU's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society. He also has been an intern at the NDSU Libraries.
He was assigned to the Library of Congress Manuscript Division.
