Q: I was wondering how you got your start working at the Walt Disney Archives. I majored in history in college and will be starting the Disney College Program soon and would love nothing more than to eventually work at the archives. Any advice? Thanks, and have a magical day!

A: I just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and had the qualifications and experience that Disney needed, when I was selected to start the Walt Disney Archives. While the Archives rarely has openings, since you will be on the Disney College Program, you might network with people in the Archives during the time you are working for the company. Your College Program advisors should be able to help facilitate this.
