What are you excited about as we launch this new museum?
In the spirit of NDSU Transform, this project is a once in a career opportunity to work with an incredible team to bring a new Museum into existence. I am most excited thinking about visiting the MAC 20 or 30 years from now when the MAC has a long history of celebrating the rich tradition of accomplishments, collections, and history of our terrific Land Grant University. Go Bison!

As one of the founding members of this museum, I am proud of the collaborative spirit that has driven our success. Through partnerships with various academic departments, we are able to showcase the university's diverse collections, sharing our rich tapestry of educational and cultural experiences. Our presence across multiple locations allows us to engage with campus, while our student fellows program fosters the next generation of curators and scholars, ensuring that this legacy of knowledge and creativity will continue to thrive.
