Student Gallery Guides
Duke Students are invited to apply for the Gallery Guide Program in the Nasher Museum’s Education department. Student Gallery Guides play a vital public-facing role at the museum, leading interactive and engaging tours for various audiences including, but not limited to, the general public, university classes, K-12 groups and/or people with dementia (as part of our Reflections program). As a gallery guide, students participate in trainings with educators, curators and other museum professionals to learn about pedagogy and the Nasher’s collection and exhibitions. This is an hourly paid position.
To apply, please email a resume and responses to the Short Answer Questions to Ruth Caccavale, Gallery Guide Manager and Museum Educator, at ruth.caccavale@duke.edu.
