Support the Communications team by reviewing and approving copy for web, social, and other media.
Manage vendors including photographers, printers, designers, copyeditors, publishers, and distributors.
Create full and small-scale maquettes as required for exhibition planning.
Assist with day-to-day financial operations such as processing invoices, reimbursables and other operational needs.
Address inquiries from the public and scholars as assigned.
Coordinate department meetings through Microsoft Outlook, prepare minutes, and manage food service when applicable.
Assist with preparation of presentation materials for internal and external engagements.
Coordinate mailings and provide administrative support for departmental activities as needed.
Other duties as assigned.
