Get to know one of our new interns, Ryan Muska! R Get to know one of our new interns, Ryan Muska! Ryan Muska, from River Vale, New Jersey, is a rising senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University majoring in history education. His long-term goal is to be a high school history teacher or college history professor. He was interested in interning at WACM because he saw the great strides the museum has been making in engaging children and families in cultural education, and he felt that he wanted to be part of it. He thoroughly enjoys working with Russell Serrianne and he has found great satisfaction in building and creating exhibitions that are easily understood by the children and families that visit the museum. He has learned a lot already, including how to launch a new exhibition, effective artifact researching skills, how to update WACM’s artifacts catalog, the proper ways to document new artworks in the International Youth Art Collection, and how to develop cultural education lessons suitable for children of various age groups. “This internship is giving me experience working with children of all ages, creating lessons, and using state-of-the-art museum software. All of this will be useful for me when I begin working in history education, and I can’t wait to see the doors this opens for me!” says Ryan. We wish Ryan the best of luck in this role and the best in all of his future endeavors. #intern #worldawarenesschildrensmuseum #childrensmuseum #museum #glensfalls #glensfallsny #Adirondacks #community #ourdiverseworld
Get to know one of our new interns, Lynnaya Preuss Get to know one of our new interns, Lynnaya Preuss! Lynnaya Preuss, a Queensbury native, is entering her third year at Boston College where she majors in psychology with a minor in international studies. She hopes to one day work for a nonprofit organization that gives her the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. She had visited WACM in the past and resonated with the museum’s mission of bringing our diverse world to children, and she is excited to help further that goal. She enjoys getting to be part of creating wonderful experiences for children and families who visit the museum through planning activities and working with children during Museum Summer Camp. She also enjoys learning from the rest of the staff team. “This internship has given me experience that I believe will open up future doors for me,” says Lynnaya. “I’m so grateful that I could intern this summer!” We wish Lyannaya the best of luck in this role and the best in all of her future endeavors. #worldawarenesschildrensmuseum #childrensmuseum #museum #glensfalls #glensfallsny #Adirondacks #intern #internship
