Higher Education

Would your class like to collaborate with The Joslyn on a service-learning project?  We work with the University of Nebraska Omaha’s Service Learning Academy (UNO SLA), and we request UNO instructors contact them to get started. For other higher ed institutions, contact us with your ideas. All projects should be planned in the semester or trimester prior to when they will be part of your syllabus.

In partnership with Creighton University’s College of Arts and Sciences, The Joslyn established an academic year-long, paid internship program for undergraduates (juniors and seniors) and recent graduates who lead PK-12 school and higher ed group tours. Through training and practical experience, this cadre of students, called Gallery Teachers, will gain a strong foundation for future work in the arts, education, and the museum field. They also strengthen their critical thinking, adaptability, teamwork, and communication skills, which are applicable to all career paths. Our inaugural group’s majors include art history, studio art, elementary education, theology, chemistry, biology, English, international relations, cultural anthropology, and Spanish and Hispanic studies.

Recruiting for the next cohort will begin in February 2025.
