The University of Richmond Museums hire approximately 25 students every school year as part-time Visitor Services and Museum Attendants. These students act as the public face for the museums while also ensuring the security of the artwork and objects on display. While employed, the students learn about museum operations and customer relations, receive regular training and education on the museum's collections and exhibitions, and are invited to participate in all museum programs and events. Contact museums@richmond.edu to apply.

The University Museums provides a promotion track for experienced Visitor Services and Museum Attendants to assist with Behind-the-Scenes special projects. Opportunities vary depending on museum priorities and student-interest and skill set. Typical projects can focus on curatorial, collections care, education and programs, communications and marketing, and exhibition installation support. To learn more about Behind-the-Scenes opportunities, contact Martha Wright, Assistant Curator of Academic and Public Engagement, University Museums, mwright3@ richmond.edu, or 804-287-1258.
