I just wanted to ask you what graduate program did you
go to?  I am a student with a BA degree and have had
some museum internships and job in the curatorial and
education parts of museum.  I am slowly pursuing my
way to grad school and i was wondering how do you rate
your program?

Thank you

Katie
