  • 1.  New Museum Looking to Connect with University Affiliate Programs

    Posted 05-05-2023 11:17 AM

    Hi AAM community. Our museum is still in the process of being built, and will be completed late 2024. In preparation, we're reaching out to local California Bay Area Universities in hopes of connecting and building relationships. Our goal is to offer students, animal studies and etymology programs (World Wildlife Heritage Museum) an environment to aid their studies, do hands-on research, and offer internships. We're located in Concord, CA. Any assistance in pointing us in the right direction would be amazing. Thank you!

    Shawn

    Hi Shawn,
    What a wonderful asset for the California Bay area community!

    Have you connected with the Association of Academic Museums & Galleries (AAMG) and the Western Museums Association (WESTMUSE)? 

    AAMG has a listserv and WESTMUSE's annual conference this October is in Pasadena, CA.

    Cheers,
    Elysian

    Hi Shawn, 
    I'm excited to hear about the new World Wildlife Heritage Museum!  Any chance you will be going to AAM in Denver?  If so, I will be there and would love to meet up with you and learn more about the new Museum. I also have some ideas for you about connecting with University Affiliate Programs.

    I am a longtime museum professional, who has an evaluation practice here in the SF Bay Area.  I look forward to connecting with you!
