Fall 2016 Cohort (Museum Science)

[Need Coffee in an IV]

Hey Everyone! I know this is late and will most likely get very little traction but I'm hoping to start a discussion about museum science programs. Also hoping that this will encourage future topics. Gradcafe seems to be lacking in this aspect, but here's hoping people will come out of the woodwork!

I'm a senior and I'm finishing my last semester as an undergrad. I applied to a total of 7 programs. Some were a bad fit (University of North Carolina Greensboro) had lukewarm response (UC Boulder), too expensive (University of Oregon) and some rejects were disappointing (University of Washington and University of Kansas). I'm still waiting on IUPUI but I will most likely (99%) attend Texas Tech. I was a nervous wreck for awhile but I'm happy it's over. Anyways I'm hoping to hear about what everyone's interests/areas they want to focus on.

I would like to focus on community outreach through science museums and see how museums as a whole effect their community. Idea is rough but I'm hoping it's a good topic. I'm going to discuss my ideas with my POI next week. She seem excited so that's a good sign. Well enough about me guys, I would like to meet my future colleagues!
