Join RMIT’s Cultural Collections advisory panels in 2027

Are you an RMIT student interested in art, design or film? Have you ever thought about joining an advisory panel or board?

The University is seeking expressions of interest from students looking to join one of its three Cultural Collections panels:

• the University Art Collection advisory panel
• the Design Archives advisory panel
• the Australian Screen Research Collection advisory panel.

Applications are open to all RMIT students. There are up to two voluntary student positions – one identified for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students – to fill on each panel.

This is a great opportunity for students interested in a career in arts management, museums or galleries, or those with a particular interest in art, design or screen culture.

Expressions of interest must be submitted by Friday 27 November 2026.

For more information, contact olympia.szilagyi@rmit.edu.au.

Successful applicants will be required to attend up to four meetings over the course of the year and participate in all panel decisions. Some limited pre-reading is often required. Tentative dates for the meetings are listed below.

Student panellists will also be asked to create two to four social media posts for the RMIT collection they are representing.
