Keep Our Art Safe! The Bellarmine Museum of Art needs students to serve as security guards when we are open to the public.

The museum welcomes visitors on Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During those days/hours, we will need two students to serve as Museum Security Guards.

Guards are also needed for occasional evening opening receptions, and monthly on Saturdays from 12-5 for Family Days.

One student mans the entrance/front hall/cast corridor, while the other monitors the Museum's three galleries; students rotate locations with each other at least once during shifts.

• Require patrons sign the guest book
• Ensure all museum rules and guidelines are followed at all times by patrons.
• Ask patrons to leave coats, backpacks, and other belongings in the coatroom
• Answer basic questions (i.e. restroom/coatroom locations)

Student Guards will act as a student ambassador for the Museum. Guards will have two-way radios to communicate with the Museum Director and the Collections Manager at all times. Guards will also have access to Campus Security via cell phone in case of an emergency. The Museum's state-of-the-art security system will also support in the Guard's duties.

• To be able to answer all questions that visitors might have
• To understand the security procedures for the museum
• To be an observant attendant

• Ability to talk with museum visitors comfortably.
• Willingness and availability to work between 10:00a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
• Willingness to dress appropriately and professionally as both a representative of Fairfield University and of the Bellarmine Museum of Art.

Knowledge of art history is a plus.
