Alumni Spotlights
 |
Brian Carter '06, Deputy Director, Northwest African American Museum |
"I love the fact that my own professional development can mirror the growth of my institution. Working at a start-up museum provided me the opportunity to try boldly, to fail epically, and to assume a level of responsibility that, I now realize, fuels me." |
 |
Whitney Ford-Terry '10, Public Programs Coordinator, Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington |
"The multi-disciplinary nature of the Museology Program encouraged me to see the expanded nature of museum practice. I’ve found it a great value to understand the many hands and minds that work together to create an exhibit or event. Having a broad institutional understanding of museums in a general sense allows for a more balanced perspective in the workplace and helps you appreciate the time and talents of those you work with." |

Dominic Hall '07, Curator, Warren Anatomical Museum, Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine |
"Ultimately, I most enjoy being part of a continuum. Museums, theoretically, exist in perpetuity and as a manager of a collection, it can be a privilege to play a part, even if small considering the percentage of time, in growing the utility of the museum and preserving its collection for future exploration." |

Erin Langner '07, Adult Public Programs Coordinator, Seattle Art Museum |
"Although my current work is more focused on the relationships between art objects and audiences, having the chance to work intimately with works of art in the collections was ultimately very formative in building the approach I now take as an educator." |

Dawn Roberts '06, Collections Manager, Chicago Academy of Sciences and its Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum |
"Every day is different and I thrive on feeling like I can affect so many areas." |
 |
Chelsea Rodriguez '08, Coordinator, Education, Pacific Science Center |
"What I enjoy most about my position is the opportunity to match people with volunteer opportunities that both positively impact the volunteer and Pacific Science Center. Witnessing volunteers make a difference while enjoying themselves is a huge highlight!" |
