Evaluation and audience research are central to the success of the museum field, and I wanted to share about an opportunity to support emerging museum professionals in developing these critical skills.
Earlier this year, VSA added a Student Cohort membership option, intended for a group of students within the same academic program to receive a group discount on VSA memberships. Student Cohort memberships can be as low as $55 per person!
A VSA membership provides:
-
Expand skills with free or discounted virtual learning and professional development opportunities, including webinars and the annual conference, coming to Saint Paul, Minnesota July 16-18, 2024.
-
Connect with a community of like-minded professionals through focused interest groups, member web chats, VSA's Slack channel, virtual social and networking events, and more.
-
Stay abreast of the latest research through the Visitor Studies journal and receive free or discounted access to other museum journals.
-
Build professional skill sets and resumes by being involved in VSA's programs and activities.
-
Set up job opportunity alerts and upload a resume to VSA's career center.
Feel free to share this information with anyone who is interested! And, let me know of any additional resources for helping students connect with a community of practice and learn about evaluation.
