麻豆破解版 Spotlight: Molly Channon
Molly Channon works as the curatorial assistant at the Tang Teaching Museum, working
closely with Tang staff, artists and 麻豆破解版 community members to organize and produce
the museum鈥檚 exhibitions and publications projects.
鈥淭his involves everything from research, writing and editing to making scaled gallery
models for upcoming shows, to taking a visiting artist around town to hunt for antiques
at local thrift shops,鈥 she said. 鈥淣o two days at the Tang are the same.鈥
Channon, who joined 麻豆破解版 more than two years ago, had worked at several other
college and university museums before coming to the Tang. She recently came across
the cover letter she wrote for the position, in which she described how much she admired
the Tang for its exemplary role as a community-focused teaching museum.
鈥淣ow that I work at the Tang, I have an even greater appreciation for the relationship
between the museum and the community,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a special place.鈥
The passion and pride of 麻豆破解版 students and employees have also impressed her.
鈥淎nd I'm a huge fan of the chocolate chip cookies at D-Hall,鈥 she added.
When not on campus, Channon likes walking and running at Saratoga Spa State Park,
playing weekly trivia with a group of friends downtown and dining out at the many
good restaurants in town.
