The AdvoCats are a group of current UVM students who provide prospective students with a window into what it is like to be a part of UVM's community. With more than sixty students on staff, the AdvoCats bring a slew of diversity, perspective, and humor for visitors. AdvoCats are often the most personal contact incoming students will have with UVM, so working closely with the Office of Admissions to provide an information-rich narrative to form connections is imperative. Working as an AdvoCat I learned and grew by: -Leading tours for prospective students and their families-Hosting accessible open houses and being chosen to speak on panels ranging from 2 to 2,000 visitors-Managing peers as a Tour Tier Captain by providing support, open communication avenues, and accountabilityDuring monthly staff development meetings, we were able to learn from different professionals on campus including the communications department and a theater professor. From these meetings, I was able to advance my skills as an orator by being more intentional with body language and messaging while being fluid and adaptable.

Kelley Helmstutler DiDio's course Art History 285: Museum Studies focused on how museums function as platforms to preserve history and tell stories, and how many communities are misinterpreted or left out of museum spaces. Through the lens of Aruna D'Souza's book Whitewalling: Art, Race, & Protest we examined museum practices of inclusion and exclusion of artists, visitors, and narratives of different groups of people. While learning about how museums uphold structures of power each week, students worked closely with the staff of the Robert Hull Fleming Museum to curate, research, and display works in the vein of protest art. As a class we pitched our show to the Fleming and they chose to pick up our idea. The "RESIST! INSIST! PERSIST!" exhibition ran from September 27 to December 13, 2019 and helped inspire a complimentary exhibit "Be Strong and do Not Betray Your Soul" across the marble hall. It examined protest and power through four windows: race, gender, the state, and class. Through this class and the process of creating "RESIST! INSIST! PERSIST!" I was able to pick up valuable skills by: -Critically reading about race, gender, sexuality, and class to incorporate themes into my research about objects and wall text in the exhibit-Utilizing a 3D space to convey abstract themes through placement, text, and order by creating a mock up of the exhibition space-Pitching a fully developed concept including research, wall text, a catalogue, educational materials, and themes to a board of professionals in the fieldThis experience was incredibly meaningful and helped spark an interest in applied sciences in provenance research and conservation science.

In Kelley Helmstutler DiDio's course Honors College: 185: Art & Its Destruction, writing a book about the Confederate monuments took the place of a final exam. Students worked together to bring about a book that explored case studies across the United States about how Confederate monuments came to be and the debates surrounding them. Confederate Monuments: Revisiting our History presents arguments for preserving the monuments and for tearing them down. It explores questions including the kinds of harm that Confederate monuments cause, what to do with the monuments if they are taken down, and how state owned versus privately owned statues function differently. As the General Editor of this project, I: -Lead and supported groups of students working in areas including research, citations, media permissions and image rights, and layout-Organized due dates and provided accountability for the project-Stepped in to assist groups when they fell behind schedule or fell into a rut, and encouraged groups when they were doing an excellent job-Compiled all of the submitted media from student groups in a document suitable to submit to the self-publishing platform CreateSpace
