Listen "The Teacher Voice"
Episode Synopsis
Museum galleries and programs are brought to life by museum educators and members of the Fairbanks community, who volunteer to teach school children, guide tours, and help during special events. And the UA Museum docent program has been around for more than 40 years, almost as long as the museum has been located on the west ridge of the UAF campus.Museum docents Tim Doran, Judy Ferri, Avalon Wappett, and David Weissman, speak about how they became involved, how docenting is a team effort, and how the best parts of any museum program are what the volunteers share of themselves.The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
