As an academic unit of Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, the Escalette Collection’s core mission is to enhance student learning, both within and outside of the classroom. Students are involved in nearly every aspect of the Escalette Collection’s operations, ranging from curation, social media, collections management, design, and outreach. Each of these students shape the Collection – both its present and future – in direct and meaningful ways.
Art Ambassadors
The Art Ambassadors are a student organization that serve as docents for the Escalette
Collection of Art. Focusing on student engagement, the Art Ambassadors are responsible
for raising awareness of the Collection through fun on-campus events, tours, and promotions.
This is a great opportunity for students looking to join a community of art-lovers
on campus, and for students who want to be involved, but need a flexible time-commitment.
Lead Art Ambassador 2025: Ysabella Rodriguez
Student Employment

in meaningful ways to the Collection.
