Hi everyone, my name is Elizabeth
Gwilt and I’m a fourth year in the Museum Studies program. When I first
transferred into the program, I didn’t have a clue about which specific aspects
of museum work appealed to me. But now, after taking more museum classes and
learning from my own experience, I can say that I’d like to focus on the field
of Museum Education. Examining how people learn in museum settings is very
interesting to me. I’d love to learn more about methods for assessing learning,
and how to design programming that meets visitors’ needs.
My first internship experience took
place at the Henry B. Plant Museum in Tampa, Florida. Although I had a great
experience, the small museum lacked an education department, so I hope to find another
internship that can support my interest in education. In the meantime, I think my
thesis will be related to education somehow.
