Gallery attendants at both the Longyear Museum of Anthropology and Picker Art Gallery are key players in the museums’ day-to-day operations. The attendants are the first faces our visitors see, and thus are integral to assisting in both creating a welcoming atmosphere and keeping our galleries secure.  It is a great first step to getting involved with University Museums throughout your time at Colgate!

This front-facing position entails engaging with guests, performing basic cleaning tasks, and enforcing gallery-specific rules. Gallery Attendants may also have the opportunity to undergo collections handling training with a staff member and gain behind-the-scenes museum experience by helping with exhibition installation before show openings.
