00;00;03;26 - 00;00;04;14
The Museum

00;00;04;14 - 00;00;08;08
Studies
program at USF is a really exciting

00;00;08;08 - 00;00;12;24
opportunity
for students to launch into the field

00;00;12;24 - 00;00;16;19
and learn about all different types
of museums and careers in them.

00;00;16;23 - 00;00;23;27
Through studying at USF, I had kind of
more exposure as a museum professional

00;00;23;27 - 00;00;27;25
and more people kind of knew who I was,
so it made it easier,

00;00;28;07 - 00;00;32;16
at least for me to get my start
in the museum world after the program.

00;00;32;25 - 00;00;38;05
University of San Francisco
is ideally located for studying museums.

00;00;38;06 - 00;00;42;01
We have students who have interned
at the De Young Museum.

00;00;42;01 - 00;00;47;01
We have students working at SFMOMA,
the California Academy of Sciences.

00;00;47;06 - 00;00;50;13
So there are so many exciting places
where students

00;00;50;13 - 00;00;53;19
can launch their careers and internships.

00;00;53;22 - 00;00;55;08
We’re
all blending in together and learning

00;00;55;08 - 00;00;57;05
from each other and helping one another.

00;00;57;05 - 00;00;59;13
Not only by getting a good education,

00;00;59;13 - 00;01;03;28
but I’m in a very beautiful
and kind of culturally diverse place.

00;01;05;28 - 00;01;07;01
The Museum Studies

00;01;07;01 - 00;01;10;21
Program also teaches
through a lens of social justice,

00;01;11;04 - 00;01;14;05
and so we would analyze

00;01;14;21 - 00;01;18;29
museum policy, sort of understand
if they are helping

00;01;18;29 - 00;01;21;13
or hindering social progress.

00;01;21;13 - 00;01;24;06
So we are priming them
through our coursework,

00;01;24;06 - 00;01;30;00
through internships to do that hard work,
to ignite community conversations

00;01;30;00 - 00;01;33;17
around tough issues
today, like racial justice,

00;01;33;27 - 00;01;38;18
human rights, climate change,
and so many other issues.

00;01;38;19 - 00;01;41;11
Specifically,
I want to look towards the community,

00;01;41;11 - 00;01;45;02
the immigrant community,
look towards the multilingual community

00;01;45;02 - 00;01;48;03
and really bring them into the museum
space because,

00;01;48;03 - 00;01;51;03
you know, museums are for everybody.

00;01;51;23 - 00;01;55;17
Students who graduate from our program
will join the field

00;01;55;17 - 00;01;59;03
as a community of changemakers
and really go in

00;01;59;03 - 00;02;02;23
and take the skills that they've learned
and really make a difference.
