On the evening of Thursday, April 25, I had the privilege of
addressing the soon-to-be graduates of Algonquin College's Applied Museum Studies (AMS) program at a well-attended public event. The students talked about their experiences as
interns at various museums across Canada as well as several international
sites.
This three-year Ontario College Advanced Diploma program provides
students with a background in museum work and the technical areas common to all
museums including collections management, exhibit preparation, conservation,
educational programming and museum management.

The AMS program — one of the most recognized of its
kind in Canada — is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary. Congratulations to Algonquin
College and all the graduates!
The CMA is the proud employer of a number of the students who
were introduced at the event. These young people represent the future of
our profession–we will be in good hands. Bravo Algonquin!
