Internship Programs
For Teens & University Students
University Docents
The University Docents Training Program is a pilot program of Carnegie Museum of Art's Department of Education designed to introduce outstanding undergraduates from Pittsburgh-area universities to the museum's mission to reach college audiences on the occasion of Life on Mars. Students become acquainted with the cultural history of the museum, the Carnegie International, and the 39 contemporary artists featured in the exhibition. Strategies for engaging the public with works of art spanning many diverse media will be addressed. University interns, upon successful completion of the seven-week training program, will conduct tours of Life on Mars for various audiences. For more information, contact Jordan Crosby at the Carnegie Museum of Art School and Teacher Programs office: crosbyj@carnegiemuseums.org.
