This semester Museum Studies student Josh Smith is interning at Applewood, the home of Ruth R. Mott (1901-1999), in Flint, Michigan. As part of his internship, he has worked in innovative educational programming (including curriculum development), collections management, online exhibit and web site research and construction. Good job Josh! 
Museum Studies student Margo Light served as a gallery assistant intern at the Wonderlab Museum of Science, Health, and Technology in Bloomington, Indiana, this semester. Margo worked on the gallery floor with volunteers and guests, assisted with school groups, and designed new "science on the spot" activities. She also created new hands-on, volunteer, and staff facilitated science activities.
This semester seemed to fly by. Final exams are next week, and Museum Studies and Cultural Resource Management students are busy studying, completing papers, and finalizing class projects. We wish you the best as you study and we hope you have a great winter break! See you again in January.
On December 1, the Museum Studies Club ?decked the halls? of the Mid-Michigan Children?s Museum Scrap Studio. The children's museum says, ?Wow! What a fantastic job. . . ! Thank you for helping make our museum festive and fun for our kiddos!" Pictured left to right, back row, are Lillian Hendrick, Courtney Johnson, David Zinger, Piper Mophett, and front row, Tyler Tobias.
Kids & Culture: Harvest Festival was held at the Museum on November 16. Participants made crafts and played games, including a gourd game, bowling, and a corn ring toss. Activities were developed as student projects in MST 325: Public Programming in Museums. Thank you to everyone who came and supported our students.
