The Wilcox Group in east-central Louisiana consists of a variable sequence of fine-grained sand, mud, and lignite units with a composite thickness of about 3,000 feet. Studies of sand-body geometry, lithologic composition, and facies relationships indicate that the Wilcox Group consists dominantly of deltaic plain deposits (the Holly Springs and an overlying, unnamed delta system) which filled the Mississippi trough during late Paleocene and early Eocene times. Depositional history of these deposits is divided into four phases: (1) a basal progradational phase, characterized by thick bar-finger and upper deltaic plain sequences indicative of delta construction onto a deep and muddy shelf; (2) a thick transgressive deltaic phase including several shoal-water delta lobes with many distributaries separated by destructional phase units; (3) an upper deltaic phase characterized by small shoal-water delta lobes; and (4) a fluvial-transgressive phase consisting of a massive sand unit of coalescing fluvial deposits capped by a veneer of glauconitic, transgressive sands. Deltaic deposits of the lower part of the Wilcox Group closely resemble corresponding facies of the Recent Mississippi River delta system. The deltaic mass of the upper part of the Wilcox Group differs from both in several significant lithologic and geometric parameters, including: (1) an increase in carbonate accumulation; (2) a decrease in thickness and width of the channel sand and related facies; (3) a decrease in sand percentage; and (4) a decrease in the amount of lignite. A shift in paleodrainage from south to southeast accompanies these changes. / text

The Louisiana Folklife Commission is a 22-member body appointed by the Governor to address the special needs of Louisiana's traditional communities and advise the FolkLife Program. "The Louisiana Folklife Program, or LFP, has as its mission the identification, documentation, conservation, and presentation of the folk cultural resources of Louisiana. (Owens, 1) Folklife, which may also be characterized as contemporary grassroots cultures, includes living traditions learned informally over time within ethnic, regional, occupational, and family groups. The LFP initiates projects, collaborates with other organization provides technical assistance for planning and funding folkJife projects and manages the Division of the Arts Folklife grants with the goal of serving the greater folklife community of Louisiana. To this end the LFP oversees the Louisiana regional Folklife Program, which essentially allows in-depth documentation of Louisiana folklife by providing professional folklorists in each designated region.

This internship with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, a nonprofit arts organization, was from June 25, 2001 through September 25 ,2001, and is required in partial fulfillment of a Masters Degree in Arts Administration from the University of New Orleans. My internship involved work with the Development, Accounting, Marketing/PR, and Grants and Special Projects departments. This report details the tasks for which I was responsible. The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra has a unique governance structure, as this organization is the only musician owned and operated symphony orchestra organization in North America. This report also outlines the organizations' structure and discusses issues and prescriptions as they relate to this unprecedented governance framework.

This report provides an analysis of an internship with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra during the Summer and Fall of 1996. The report highlights the history and management style of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra plus the numerous assignments of the intern. Additionally, suggestions are made for improvements in the functioning of the organization. Appendices are found at the conclusion of thepaper. All information is based on the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 seasons unless otherwise noted.

This thesis is a description of my graduate internship with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. The internship occurred during the University of New Orleans Spring Semester 1998.

This report gives a history of the Louisiana Children's Museum, New Orleans, Louisiana. It discusses the Museum's mission, management structure, funding, programs and goals. The internship itself describes the projects in which the intern was involved and the planning that went into these projects. The major project of the internship was a workshop for teachers to instruct them on how to incorporate arts in the classroom, thus the name "Fine Arts in the Classroom." Other projects involved implementation of activities for new areas and updating current exhibits.

This thesis describes a graduate student's internship an analysis of the offices of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. The internship took place during the University of New Orleans' 1994 fall semester. The Louisiana Philhannonic is a pioneering arts organization that is owned and operated by its own orchestra players. The organization's primary goal is to introduce the highest possible quality music to the Gulf Coast region. The information in this document primarily discusses the Departments of Marketing and Audience Development and Advertising. The information in this document is based on personal experiences during the time of the internship.
