UM Students: Get Involved

The Student Programming and Advisory Council

The Student Programming and Advisory Council (SPAC) serves as a direct link between UM students and UMMA. It is dedicated to helping support UMMA’s mission of commitment to students and engagement with the arts.

The Mission of the Council

  • To increase student engagement with UMMA through participation and awareness
  • To plan and coordinate student events
  • Serve the Museum in an advisory capacity

Council Activities

Some examples of what the SPAC will be responsible for in cooperation with UMMA staff will include:

  • Produce student performance series on the third Thursday of each month in the UMMA Commons
  • Develop creative projects to engage students with UMMA's exhibitions and collections
  • Review applications for cosponsored events between UMMA and UM student organizations
  • Assist with annual events such as Artscapade, UMMA After Hours and Student Late Night

SPAC is a great opportunity to get experience working in a museum, and a great way to ensure that UM students have a voice at UMMA.
