ALUMNI VOICES: JAN SEIDLER RAMIREZ, CLASS OF 1973 LEFT Jan Seidler Ramirez '73 at a lunch with Dartmouth students during the 2019 symposium "The New Now: Art, Museums, and the Future." Jan Seidler Ramirez '73, the Founding Chief Curator and Executive Vice President of Collections at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, recently participated in the Hood's "The New Now: Art, Museums, and the Future" symposium. Hosted in celebration of Dartmouth's 250th anniversary and the reopening of the Hood, the symposium showcased alumni who have gone on to careers in museums through panel sessions and a reception. Learn more about Jan's career below. What have you been up to since you graduated from Dartmouth? Except for a graduate school layover and time spent writing my dissertation (which often felt interminable), I've worked continuously in the museum field, mainly in the curatorial arena. That constancy may not seem very adventurous. But like the proverbial duck, I discovered the ideal pond for my career interests early on, never leaving this habitat, except for once. Briefly, I hung out a shingle as an independent consultant. Although the diversity of clients and projects kept me on my toes, I missed having colleagues; I missed the familiarity of museum policies and practices; and I missed having access to the idea bank represented in an institutional collection. I folded my freelancer's tent after a year's experiment and gratefully returned to the museum as my employment homeport.
