Andrea Vargas Severin, Coordinator of Teaching Programs
We would like to introduce you to Andrea Vargas Severin, our new colleague and friend. As the newest member of the Teaching Programs and Partnerships team in the Education Division, Andrea will be responsible for various details related to our work with teacher audiences, including professional development workshops, teacher in-services, and the educator e-newsletter. You can expect to see her out and about before too long, providing tours to visitors of all ages and coordinating several partnership programs. She will also be a key member of the team that writes web-based teaching materials.
Andrea has a Masters of Art in Art Education with an emphasis on Museum Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in the History of Art and Studio Art from Vanderbilt University. Her previous experiences at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, the Richmond National Battlefield Park, and Mexic-Arte Museum will bring a fresh perspective to our work. We are delighted to have her as a colleague.
Look for Andrea’s first post on this blog soon! If you’d like to learn a little more about Andrea, you can visit the Authors page. And if you’d like to meet her in person, come join us for the upcoming Designing Exhibitions Teacher Workshop on February 11.
