FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The U of A Museum’s Campus Community Contributor program allows students, faculty and staff to share various types of work with the community.
The program allows students to share their passions and perspectives. The collection is available for viewing on the museum’s website.
The museum’s curator of education and engagement, Laurel Lamb, said the program creates a space for campus voices.
“It provides a space for campus voices whether they are students, faculty or staff. Campus voices for research passions, interests, even just a class paper you are particularly proud of,” Lamb said.
A member of the museum’s student advisory council and a contributor to the collection, Alison Fong, said the program hopes to amplify diverse voices on campus.
“What we are hoping is that as more and more people from various walks of life and various races and ethnicities decide to post and publish their passions and that we bolster their voices in our community,” Fong said.
Students can contribute things like essays, blog posts, art, and anything else they are proud of and passionate about.
“We are looking for anything that expresses student’s passions and their voice,” Fong said.
The museum is a space for sharing various ideas and disciplines among the campus community. Lamb said she hopes the program will create new connections.
“I hope this program will shed light on potentially unexpected connections on campus that we might not think about, finding interdisciplinary connections you might not think about,” Lamb said. “Kind of opening our minds to different possibilities across disciplines and potentially meeting people across campus you wouldn’t have otherwise met.”
Students can discuss and submit contributions by contacting the museum’s curator of education and engagement, Laurel Lamb. To learn more about the program, visit the U of A Museum’s website.
