    Looking for advice about your career in museum education? EdMEM needs you!

    Interested in sharing your knowledge, skills and passion for Museums? EdMEM needs you!

    • Since this is our pilot year we are limiting our sample size to test out the program.
    • Mentorships are 6 months long starting July 1, with the opportunity to extend 6 months if agreed upon by the mentor/mentee.
    • Mentors and mentees agree to meet virtually, in-person, or by phone at least once a month. Each pair will determine a mutually acceptable schedule.
    • Online orientation webinars (30 minutes long, max.) will be offered (Mentors and Mentees separately); check-ins every 3 months via conference call or Google Hangout (30 minutes) (again, separately)
    • Check-ins by Committee members with pairs every 2 months.

    Does it have to be in Museum Education?  I currently work in Museum Education, but I want to enter into collections.

    The EdCom Mentoring program is only for Museum Education, but I know that the Registrar's Committee of AAM  (RCAAM) has its own mentoring program.  You can contact Sebastian Encina, sencina@umich.edu for more on their program.

    Good luck!
