Mission Statement:

The Nasher Student Advisory Board (NSAB) of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University serves as the student voice of and for the museum. The NSAB acts as a bridge between the widely diverse student body and the Nasher at Duke. The NSAB fosters student ownership of the museum, advises museum staff on effective ways to engage the student body, and is proactive in promoting the museum throughout the Duke community and beyond.

PLEASE NOTE: Membership in the NSAB requires a significant time commitment to attend weekly meetings, plan programs and staff programs/events. Members spend time outside of weekly meetings (2-4 hrs. per week) to plan and promote events. Attendance at monthly events is also required.
