MICHAEL QUITUISACA ’17<br />

“As the Curatorial Intern at the Museum of the City of New York, I<br />

worked directly with Dr. Weber, Curator of Paintings <strong>and</strong> Sculptures, to assess the<br />

artwork in the collection, develop exhibitions, <strong>and</strong> network with other museum<br />

professionals. Through my time at the museum, I gained actual work experience in a<br />

museum environment that augmented the knowledge I gained in school. I graduated<br />

feeling confident with my resume <strong>and</strong> excited for my future! Thank you MMC!”<br />
