Above and Beyond
Above and Beyond recognizes individuals and groups of South Dakota State University employees, faculty and students for individual and team efforts that go Above and Beyond to make the campus community a better place. This week we recognize the South Dakota Art Museum team for its work to earn reaccreditation for the museum.
The South Dakota Art Museum has again achieved accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, the highest national recognition afforded to the nation鈥檚 museums.
Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, governments, funders, outside agencies and the museum-going public. The South Dakota Art Museum has been accredited since 1976. All alliance-accredited museums must undergo a reaccreditation review at least every 10 years to maintain accredited status.
The South Dakota Art Museum was the first alliance-accredited museum in South Dakota and is one of only four museums accredited in the state.
Accreditation is a very rigorous but highly rewarding process that examines all aspects of a museum鈥檚 operations. To earn accreditation, a museum first must conduct a year of self-study and then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. The American Alliance of Museums鈥 Accreditation Commission, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, considers the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation.
Thank you to the museum staff for your work in reaffirming the South Dakota Art Museum as a great asset to this university and for your continual effort to go above and beyond in representing 成人视频 to the public.
South Dakota Art Museum staff involved in reaccreditation include:
鈥 Donna Merkt, director
鈥 Taylor McKeown, curator of collections and exhibitions
鈥 Abigail Ramsbottom, curator of education
鈥 Abigail Gebro, retail and visitor services coordinator
鈥 Carolyne Hart, former membership and development coordinator
鈥 Amanda Billadeau-Prigge, exhibits designer and registrar
鈥 Rachel Goldsmith, institutional advancement assistant
鈥 Hannah LeMair, collections aide
Also integral to the museum鈥檚 operations and reaccreditation are student staff. Additionally, thank you to the South Dakota Art Museum Advisory Board and Guild and the 成人视频 Foundation.
