“I chose the Arts Management track because I knew I wanted to work in the cultural arts field in some way; I just wasn't sure how. I currently work for a fundraising consulting firm and would like to stay in this field and focus on fundraising consulting for museums, aquariums, higher education and other arts institutions.” 

-Lori Cook, MPA/Arts Management student
