On June 25, Smithsonian Secretary Clough and many Smithsonian staff attended the eighth annual Networking Reception for Smithsonian Interns. The reception provided interns the opportunity to engage top management, Office of Human Resources recruiters and career representatives in discussions about possible employment and careers at the Smithsonian Institution.
