University of Illinois
students are an integral part of the Spurlock Museum staff. Many
of our student workers stay at
the Museum throughout their college careers. In fact, some of
our senior staff members started out as student workers, gaining
on-the-job
skills and experience that expanded their formal college training.
Each
summer, we lose a number of these students as they graduate
or move on to jobs more closely associated with
their major areas of study. Each one has become a friend and
a Museum family member, and we love getting job and wedding announcements
keeping us up-to-date on their lives. |

During August and
September we welcome the new class of students who will become the
new
generation of family. If you are in the
Museum this fall, say "Hello" to our new student workers
and make them feel at home.
The museum encourages
new students to join the Spurlock family and discover the Spurlock
experience. For more information, check out employment/volunteer opportunities
at the museum.
