Good afternoon,
My name is Erin Erb and I am a student in the museum studies program at San
Francisco State University.  I am currently writing my thesis which examines
ways to improve upon school field trips to museums and other forms of museum
and school collaborations.  As part of my research, I have composed the
following survey for museum educators.  Responses can be sent to me off-line
at [log in to unmask]
Thank you very much for your time,
Erin
