If you ask what impresses me about Rachel, it’s her warm and slightly shy smile. Rachel told me that she had been an exchange student in Italy for one year. I think that’s why she is patient to explain to me when I’m confused about some English words she said.
Rachel graduated from Birmingham Southern College, and her major is art history. Because of an interest in Museums, she decided to be an intern in the Erie Art Museum (EAM). She became more certain that she liked Museum study when she began working in the EAM. During this internship, she mainly assists the registrar in the EAM, Vance Lupher, by organizing the artwork in the EAM collection. Sometimes she assists Stephanie Crowell, the education coordinator, with some activities. This summer, the EAM is preparing to hold a traveling exhibition about East African cloth. Rachel is also involved in this project. She is assisting in arranging the collection and preparing the exhibition. Rachel thinks that by being an intern here, she can know how a staff manages a museum and can involve herself in lots of stuff. She likes the working environment. I too think that the EAM is one of the few museums that have enough free space to let interns be involved in the whole system.
Rachel thinks that the EAM is a special and unique museum in that the EAM is trying to get people involved and allowing staffs to have any new idea about their own job. The EAM always provides a variety of programs for visitors, like Art in Action and Art camp, and visitor can choose any programs depending on their flavors. I think that the EAM is a people-centered institution. You can get very involved in the EAM, and this is the most cherishable part of this museum.
