A few years ago, I was delighted to hear Jill Medvedow, from Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art, in her role as the chair of the Association of Art Museum Directors,. While unpaid museum internships have been the standard, this practice undervalues student labor — regardless of socioeconomic status — and damages the institutions.
I was one of those students who needed to come up with money to pay for college each semester.

At Wesleyan University, I, too, only managed to take unpaid summer internships with aid from the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program. Without that extra support, I would not be an art professional and professor at Wellesley College today.
