In some years, the DAC invites a current or recently graduated Wesleyan student to work during the summer as a Jim Dine Curatorial Intern. Endowed by John R. Jakobson (B.A. Wesleyan 1952, LL.D. 1989, Trustee Emeritus) in honor of his friend Jim Dine (whose work is well represented in the DAC Collection), this internship enables a student to work intensively on a special project with close guidance by museum staff. The Jim Dine Curatorial Interns to date have been:
- 2000: Timothy Peterson (B.A. Wesleyan 2000), working on collections-catalog descriptions of a major gift of Jim Dine photogravures
- 1999: Caitlin Lang (B.A. Wesleyan 1999), working on collections storage-location reapportionment
- 1995: Deborah Stutz (B.A. Wesleyan 1996), working on collections inventory
- 1994: Robert Lancefield (B.A. Wesleyan 1982, M.A. 1993, Ph.D. candidate), working on collections inventory
The Jim Dine Curatorial Internship is awarded in a programmatically driven way based upon the DAC's project-oriented needs and its staff's first-hand knowledge of the specific aptitudes and skills that a student has demonstrated in other capacities at the museum (e.g., as a student researcher). Wesleyan students interested in museum work should contact DAC staff about the regular internship program.
