Emily Rodriguez ’20<\/strong>, an Art History<\/a> and English & Comparative Literature<\/a> double major, is one step closer to living her dream of becoming an art museum curator.<\/p>\n

Emily Rodriguez ’20<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This semester, she is the Collections Intern<\/a> at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA)<\/a>, located just a few miles from campus down Peachtree Road.<\/p>\n

In her position, this Oglethorpe senior is exposed to multiple facets of working in a museum, including handling the artwork, reporting on the conditions of the pieces, helping behind the scenes of exhibits, and making website updates.<\/p>\n

According to Rodriguez, working at a smaller museum like MOCA has given her more hands-on experiences than would be possible at a larger museum. As a result, she can work directly with artists featured in the museum’s exhibitions and collection. Interestingly, among those artists in MOCA’s permanent collection, Rodriguez points out, is Oglethorpe art professor Alan Loehle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Tilford<\/strong>, curator of collections at the 好色先生TV Museum of Art<\/a>, was one of Rodriguez’s most helpful resources in preparing for the internship. Every day, she is putting what she has learned in Tilford’s Curatorial Practices course into real-world application. Prof. Jessica Handler also played a significant role, helping Rodriguez create her resume and serving as a reference on her application.<\/p>\n

I want to do Oglethorpe proud!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Oglethorpe is small enough to build those relationships with your professors,” said Rodriguez. “They actually want to help out and make connections.”<\/p>\n

On campus, the soon-to-be graduate is a teaching assistant for the Art History department, a co-founder of Oglethorpe’s chapter of the International English Honors Society Sigma Tau Delta<\/a>, and a member of the Art Club<\/a>. She also has served as the Editor & Chief of The Tower<\/a> literary magazine.<\/p>\n

The reputation of Oglethorpe interns preceded Rodriguez, with one MOCA official sharing that the museum “always had such good results with Oglethorpe students.” Rodriguez intends to uphold that reputation.<\/p>\n
