Emily Volkmann graduated from Miami University (that’s in Ohio) with degrees in history and individualized studies, where she specialized in colonial history and power struggles. For the past year, Emily has been part of the Arts and Administration program at the University of Oregon and has developed an interest in how museums can better serve their communities. This summer, Emily was fortunate to receive first-hand experience while working at the Pratt Museum in Homer, Alaska, where she catalogued the Education Collection, developed and led educational programs, and learned what it takes to make a small museum function. When she doesn’t have her nose buried in a book (and it’s not Ohio State football season), Emily likes to attend open-air markets, play with dogs, and doodle all over everything.
