Sheldon Museum of Art is seeking student docents to give exhibition tours to college classes and community groups during the spring semester.
Student docents can be undergraduate or graduate students in any field of study. The posts are open to any students from UNL and other area colleges/universities.
Training for student docents is 3 to 4:30 p.m. Jan. 16, 23, 30 and Feb. 6. All student docents participate in introductions to new exhibitions, gallery talks by curators, field trips to other museums, and meet-and-greet events for visiting artists and lecturers.
Sheldon student docents gain valuable experience with inquiry-based teaching strategies, access to the arts for visitors with physical or cognitive disabilities, and the behind-the-scenes operations of an art museum. No previous experience is required.
For more information or to sign up for Sheldon’s volunteer student docent program, contact Lisa Maurer at lisa.maurer@unl.edu or 402-472-4524.
