University Faculty
- Guided Tours: course-related tours typically take place during the week and vary in length. Tours may be general in nature – visiting the Main, Mezzanine and Lower Galleries, followed by a Q&A with a museum staff member. Alternatively, tours may focus on a particular theme or exhibition, which may be led by the museum curator or director. To request a guided tour please contact Amanda Lynn, Coordinator of Education and Public Programs at alynn1@binghamton.edu or 607-777-2634.
- The Lindsay Study Room: the study room provides opportunities for students and professors to study any object from the permanent collection. Professors may also reserve the Study Room to hold a class to view artwork, or may request that several works of art be put on display for a short time for students to examine. Reservations for the Lindsay Room must be made at least a week in advance. Class size is limited to 20 students. To make a reservation, please contact Silvia Ivanova, Museum Registrar at ivanova@binghamton.edu or 607-777-4763.

University Students
- Student Employment: For student employment, contact Cynthia Riley at 607-777-2968 or criley@binghamton.edu.
- Museum Internships: In collaboration with the Fleishman Center's Career Development Centralized Internship (CDCI) program, the °®¶¹´«Ã½ Art Museum offers a variety of lively internship opportunities for students on campus to engage in projects related to curating, collections management, public programming, education, engagement, social media, graphic design and videography. Offered every fall and spring, the 2-credit course allows students to gain practical hands-on experience in museum careers at the °®¶¹´«Ã½ Art Museum. Interns develop marketable skills and learn about the professional nature of the workplace, reflecting on that knowledge in a seminar setting. In addition to the course, interns are expected to work 60 hours over the course of the semester. Internship positions advertised through in the fall and spring. If you are interested in applying for an internship or have questions about a specific internship position please contact the museum director, Diane Butler at dbutler@binghamton.edu or 607-777-3252.
