A Message from the MSSO President

Greetings and welcome to NYU’s Museum Studies Student Organization’s blog. My name is Bobby Ives and I serve as the President for MSSO. Over the next year we hope to implement an unprecedented amount of change within the organization and we can't do it without you. Some initiatives for this year are an alumni network, faculty events, a directory for students, career development workshops, behind the scenes tours of museums, and social events (since the best part of the Museum Studies program is the students). Help us make this year the best ever and join MSSO!



On a personal note, I hail from Oakbrook Terrace, one of the many suburbs of Chicago. I have a BA from Washington University in St. Louis in Political Science and International Studies. After graduating I moved to San Francisco and worked as the Housing Coordinator at the San Francisco Art Institute. Currently I work at NYU as the Academic Development Assistant in the Residential Education Department and I also intern in the Department of External Affairs at the New Museum of Contemporary Art which opens its new building on December 1st. I'm probably one of the last people on the planet not on facebook or myspace but regardless, you can contact me by email at arbokives@yahoo.com. Thanks for visiting the blog!
