Description of the video:
Hi I'm Karen Gahl-Mills
Director of arts administration programs
here at the O'Neill School of Public and
Environmental Affairs at Indiana
University
and I’m here to answer a question for
You. The question is:
Why should I choose O'Neill's arts
administration graduate programs rather
than somebody else's?
Well I'll give you three reasons and the
first is our tremendous faculty.
We've assembled a small group of folks,
some distinguished researchers who are
really working at the fore
of research and cultural affairs and in
fact have started the Center for
Cultural Affairs here at the O'Neill
School to do that very work;
tremendously expert practitioners, folks
who have been
inside organizations, who really
understand how administration and
management works.
And they will be your guides through
this educational process and
are all absolutely committed to teaching
and to ensuring that you
come here and have a chance to learn and
grow and be transformed.
Second reason: This is a program that
really does
marry theory and practice with those
tremendous faculty
you're going to get really important
foundational grounding in what it means
to run an organization
that works in the arts. But then we also
have plenty of experiential learning
work for you,
practicum assignments and internships,
that allow you to use
the classroom and your practical work
experience together
to make sure you really get a
well-rounded experience.
And then finally, the third reason: It's
the people.
The kind of people who join the small
cohort, usually 30 to 40 students a year,
you'll get to know these folks. They will
become your professional network.
They will become your trusted friends
and colleagues as you move through your
career.
And our faculty and staff here are very
accessible, very eager to help you be
successful
and eager to help you find your way
through this program. I really hope
you'll consider joining us.
Lots more information throughout this
website. And please don't hesitate to
reach out to us if you have questions
or if you just want to talk with
somebody about what it's like to be a
student here in our arts administration
programs.
Thanks for listening.
