• Raise the professional standard of curatorial proposals and exhibitions
• Foster collaboration and partnerships between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs
• Promote awareness of cultural pursuits and academic relevance through programming
• Strengthen student retention and alumni connections through collaborative review process
