No luck, I’m sure the competition was stiff!
Cross your fingers for me! I have applied for a fellowship as an Emerging Museum Professional to attend the Annual Meeting, which is a long weekend museum symposium! as the biggest museum dork ever I am really excited about this. It is a longshot that I will get the fellowship because undergraduates don’t usually apply. here is a list of some of the seminars I want to attend:
