TYPICAL ACTIVITIES:
Under the supervision of RAFFMA Director, Education and Collection Assistant (ECA) assists in both, education and collection-related projects and tasks, dedicating 50 percent of the time to each area.
In the area of education, ECA maintains the existing museum programs and helps develop and implement new ones, designed for various audiences, from the university audience, through the local to the regional, Inland Empire audiences. Collaborating with the museum's marketing and membership coordinator, ECA actively assists in bringing the visual arts to the heart of CSUSB's experience for students and the wider community and integrating the museum and its collections into the life of every student.
ECA helps to maintain the museum's docent program and recruit new docents, particularly from among CSUSB students. S/he actively engages students, helping students to feel not only connected but also valued and supported in their volunteer efforts. S/he advocates on behalf of students while ensuring that they understand the museum's mission, goals, guidelines, and rules. S/he stays abreast of students' ever-changing social preferences and behaviors in order to help to design programs that appeal to them. S/he also serves as a liaison to faculty and academic departments and programs in order to connect the museum's educational programs to curricula and to engage various disciplines.
Even though the museum's focus in 2017-18 continues to be the campus audience (students, staff, and faculty), ECA also maintains some of the existing partnerships with the Inland Empire schools, including the museum's online resources for teachers available for download via the museum website. ECA is responsible for the implementation and evaluation (assessment) of the museum educational programs, such as talks, conversations, workshops, symposia, concert, etc. With the help of RAFFMA's administrative and visitor services coordinator, s/he organizes all logistics for such programs, and s/he also works closely with the museum's marketing, membership, and engagement coordinator in the area of such events' publicity.
In the area of collections, ECA assists with maintaining the collection database and register, with preparations to publish the collection online, as well as with the development of some of the museum educational materials. Since the museum plans to change its collection database, ECA will be part of the process. ECA also performs other standard registrar's duties such as loan agreements, condition reports, shipping arrangements, etc. ECA also works with and supervise interns and student assistants assigned to help in the areas of education and collection.
