You might want to get in touch with Dr. Ruth Hawkins at Arkansas State University. She has been involved in several museum projects and has worked closely with community groups in the region. Hello everyone, I am a graduate student in the museum studies program at the University of Memphis. I am creating a proposal for the creation of a museum at another university (in Arkansas) for a course here, as well as practical application at that university. I would like to include some information regarding the relationships between university museums and the institution itself, especially administration, as well as the nearby community. If you work in a university museum, how do you work together with the administration of the university to ensure the success of your museum? What kind of relationship do you have with the university, and how involved are they in the museum's activities? Any examples and information I could include in the proposal for the university to help in developing a university museum would be incredibly helpful. Thank you for your help!
