Our alumni work in museums, galleries, and auction houses as well as in education, law, the non-profit sector, marketing, public relations, development and fundraising, publishing, as well as nearly every occupation that requires observation, analysis, and communication. Our dedicated alumni are valuable resources for current students, returning to campus regularly to give career advice and participating in job shadow programs and intern hiring.
