![We love our St. Michael’s Exploration Academy interns!
Throughout the fall semester, St. Michael's Exploration Academy students have participated in an internship here at Ogden Museum. During the internship, students have gained hands-on experience with a public facing role at the Museum.
Working with visitor services, students greet visitors, provide information about current exhibitions and hand out visitor guides. Interns build confidence, creativity and leadership through facilitation of a drop-in art activity inspired by artwork on view in the Museum, and by serving as assistants to the Museum’s Tour Program.
Last week, the interns dressed as some of the paintings they see every week. This Thursday, October 31 will be the last day of their fall semester internship, and we are so thankful for all the help they provided these past couple of months. Swing by the O this Thursday to say hi as they finish up their semester!
