Museum Guides
The Samek Art Museum is dedicated to providing valuable museum learning opportunities and operational experience to our students. The Samek Art Museum offers paid positions for students to serve as Museum Guides.
Museum Guides are trained to lead visitors through our permanent collection and special exhibitions. Each Guide is trained to greet and offer resources to our audiences. In addition, these Guides serve as gallery attendants, responsible for monitoring our spaces and securing the safety of our exhibitions. If you would like to be considered for the position of Museum Guide, please contact Tilton Widro (mtw011@bucknell.edu) or stop by the museum and ask about the positions.
Samek Art Museum student advisors
The Samek Art Museum student advisors are a volunteer student committee. As a part of this exclusive opportunity, our student advisors get VIP access to visiting artists, curators, and private educational programming. Advisors work closely with the Samek Art Museum Director, Richard Rinehart, as well as other members of the staff on meaningful museum decisions and policies. Student advisors also get first access to join the Trevisani Fund for Art Acquisition program. This annual program educates students about collecting art and asks them to select a work that makes a new and significant contribution to Bucknell’s art collection.
