Abstract
As a university art museum, it is our mission to provide engagement and research opportunities for all our students. Through a series of workshops, curriculum (STEAM, VTS, and interpretive writing), mentorship programs which offer paid internships that support racialized and marginalized students, and a unique study abroad program to France and Senegal, the JSMA at UO provides access to underserved K-12 and university students. The museum’s endeavors reach beyond the academic and also serve as a space for healing as well as a place for processing trauma and stress. In some cases, the museum’s programs have served as an intervention for gang-affiliated youth and integrates our university students as mentors.
