Lindsey Wurz (’21)
Lindsey graduated from Purdue University in 2019 with bachelor’s degrees in art history and general communication; her academic emphases were public relations and strategic communication. Throughout her undergraduate career, she was involved with several student organizations, studied abroad in Amsterdam, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Additionally, Lindsey volunteered and interned at a variety of nonprofit arts organizations, including the Haan Museum of Indiana Art, Starry Night Music and Arts Festival, Purdue Galleries, and Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, where she currently works as the Marketing and Communications Coordinator. Her professional areas of interest include communications, learning and public engagement, and research and program evaluation.
When looking at graduate programs, I wanted to be where several opportunities in the arts existed. Boston is a city steeped in history and culture, and I was excited to learn from the Boston arts community both in the classroom at Boston University and in the field. Classes such as Arts Leadership in Times of Crises, Financial Management for Nonprofits, and Marketing and Audience Development for the Arts equipped me with knowledge and skills that I believe will continue to benefit me as I advance in my career.
