Student Mediators, Science Gallery Atlanta

Science Gallery Atlanta at Emory University is delighted to announce that we are opening our first round of applications for students to gain experience in science communication and public engagement as mediators in our upcoming exhibition, HOOKED: When Want Becomes Need, opening in early 2022 in central Atlanta.

We are actively seeking creative and highly motivated students from all backgrounds and fields of study to help us leverage art and science to address societal challenges such as addiction, social justice, and climate impact. 

Student mediators serve a critical role in the Science Gallery experience: they contextualize content and provoke and guide discussion with gallery visitors.  (Please see below this email for more information about the role student mediators will serve at Science Gallery Atlanta.)

Science Gallery specifically targets 15 to 25-year olds as its core audience – we believe these are the future leaders who will understand the complexities of global challenges and bring solutions to action.

Students who serve as mediators will:

• Be trained in science communication and public engagement
• Develop professional skills (e.g., interviewing, presentation and resume writing skills)
• Interact and learn from world-class researchers and artists through networking and programming
• Receive mentorship from Science Gallery Atlanta staff and peer mediators
• Experience the cultural offerings in the Atlanta region through field trips and other social outings

Our application is open now and can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/8LYwJBUm1i21UrWL7

Accepted applicants will begin their Science Gallery Atlanta-led training in January of 2022.
