I'm in Graduate School!It's been a while since I've posted on my blog, but I've been pretty busy since I graduated in December. I've started graduate school at the University of Tulsa. I am getting my Masters of Art in Museum Science and Management. I've survived two and a half weeks of grad school so far and I couldn't be happier with the program that I am in. There are about ten new first years in the program and we are all getting along great. Soon I will become a Senator for the Graduate Student Association, where I will be representing my program, so we can get funding for conferences and travel. I am taking nine hours this semester and the classes that I'm taking are Museum Education 1, Museum Administration and Management, and Legal Issues for Museum Professionals. They are all very interesting and will teach me a lot about working in museums. For my legal class we are currently writing a 6+ page contract for loaning artwork between museums. It sounded daunting at first, but it's actually really interesting and fun to write. There are so many small details that go into contracts and it is difficult to write one that doesn't have a loop hole in it somewhere. Next week we will give a presentation over our contract and discuss what we did right and wrong while writing it. Our professor isn't expecting us to get it 100% right, but to give it our best. The class isn't teaching us how to be a lawyer, but to think as a museum professional in legal situations.
