University membership
 

Membership is valuable to your students' careers

The Ohio Museums Association is committed to connecting and empowering museum professionals at all stages of their career– including students interested in the museum, library and non-profit field. To better serve this unique group, OMA is proud to announce our University membership program.

As anyone who works with students will attest, students need concrete feedback, real-world experience, and networking opportunities to propel them into successful careers. Especially in the field of museum, library and non-profit work, these ever-important resume builders and life experiences can be the difference between a short-term, unpaid internship or the start of a fulfilling professional future. 

The Ohio Museums Association’s University membership is our way to help bridge the gap between students and professionals in their chosen field.

Let OMA help your students pursue and advance their non-profit careers. Start your OMA University membership today!
