Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture

The Burke Museum Association will implement an outreach program designed to integrate museum experiences into multiple aspects of college students’ campus life. Goals of the project are to (1) develop and test new ways of integrating formal and informal education on a college campus, (2) foster generations of college graduates who value museums as resources for lifelong learning, (3) provide leadership development opportunities for emerging museum professionals, and (4) increase recognition of the museum as a valuable asset of the university. Project findings will be shared with other university museums around the country through presentations at regional museum conferences and submission of articles to professional journals.
