Each Thursday the Museum Education Team is streaming live on Facebook at 10:00am. They briefly present a unique theme (less than ten minutes), host Q & A through chat, and demonstrate a craft or activity to do at home. This week's topic is birding. Join the livestream to learn all about birds. Then follow along and play the Bird Beak Game! To play the game you will need to gather supplies before the live event. Visit the Museum's Facebook page ahead of time for a list of supplies needed Thursday morning. Keyword: CMUMuseum. See you Thursday at 10:00am! 
Nicky Graziano is graduating this Spring with a Certificate in Cultural Resource Management. Nicky has extensive experience in Italy and the United States in classical puppetry. Nicky has also been co-coordinating the CMU Museum undergraduate collections team in processing accessions from the CMU Athletics Department. And, in the middle of everything else, she had a lovely baby girl! Congratulations Nicky! Well done! 
While all things have changed in the last two months, this has not: Casey Peacock officially completes her degree this semester! Casey is our one Museum Assistant who graduates with her MST minor this semester. You may have attended a program she assisted in creating or presenting, or you may have attend the American Chemical Society exhibit or visited their website, also two items on which Casey worked. Congratulations Casey, on a job at the CMU Museum well-done! We wish you the best as you interview for new positions. 
This spring we said farewell to one of our Education team Museum Assistants, Andy Pratt. She joined us in fall 2018 and used her experience as a teacher to improve our K-12 programs and left her mark in the hands-on exhibit Feel the Music. All of the hand-painted lettering and murals were done by Andy! Her family is moving to Honolulu, Hawaii, where her husband Donny will be the deputy communications officer for the Pacific Theater, stationed at Ft. Shafter. Andy will be finishing her Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership at CMU with a dissertation focus on serving military-connected students. Best of luck Andy and family! You will be greatly missed--although we know you won?t miss Michigan winters! 
The CMU Museum remains closed until further notice. Central Michigan University has a COVID-19 website where you may access the most recent CMU-related COVID news. The Museum will also post on Facebook and send a newsletter when we fully re-open to the public. In the meantime, check out the Facebook page for interactive posts and our Thursday Facebook live streams.
