Big News

I got a new job! Starting on June 3 I will be working for the Museum of World Treasures in Wichita (MWOT). I will be the Curator of Exhibits and Research. I will be taking over the position vacated by someone else, but the job will change a little and I will be my own department.

The MWOT is a relatively new museum started by a collector in 2001. The staff has been trying to professionalize the museum in the last several years and now participating in the American Association of Museums' (AAM) accreditation process. It sounds like a challenging and exciting job. I will miss doing archaeology, but I enjoyed all the museum work I did before I became an archaeologist. In my new job, I could possibly still go on digs as part of my professional development. I am also looking foward to being with Jeremy again and living in one place.

Also big news is Nick graduating from college. Nice work. I'll miss you. I really mean that.
