Museum Exhibit with Animals

Student Research Exhibit through Mid-October

A refereed Museum exhibition of the best-presented CMU student research from the Student Research and Creative Endeavors Exhibition (SRCEE) is in Rowe Hall through mid-October. Posters from Chiara Ziletti (History Ph.D. candidate) and Tommaso Costanzo (Science of Advanced Materials) are among those that were chosen for display. Visitors may vote for the winner of a $100 gift card to recognize the best-presented research. The voting box is across from the Museum's office in Rowe Hall 103.


Museum Studies Students Begin Summer Internships

Mitchel Inten Many students choose to intern in the summer due to the abundance of opportunities. Fifteen Museum Studies and Cultural Resource Mangement students are interning in various places in Michigan, including Kalamazoo, Detroit, Midland, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Lansing, and other towns. There is also one student interning in Ohio and one student interning in Washington State. If you're out and about visiting Museums this summer, you may just see one of CMU's students! We'll be highlighting them on Facebook. Our keyword is "CMUMuseum". Pictured is CRM Masters candidate, Mitchell Bryan, the general store clerk at Charlton Park in Hastings, Michigan.
