    St. Joe’s Field Hockey Isn’t Just Winning. The Team Is Winning Records.

    By the numbers his season — the Saint Joseph’s University Field Hockey Team got a 7–0 win on Thursday capping a five-game winning streak and a 12–2 record. But it’s the record books where the Hawks are making another significant impact.

    In a battle with Lock Haven in early October — the thirteen goals during that game were an Atlantic-10 record which ironically surpasses a record that was set by the University of Richmond in 2009. The 40-point game is the second-most in Division 1 history and the most in a D1 game this season. The team is setting records inside the program this season, too.

    The Saint Joseph’s Field Hockey Program dates from 1975. Although mostly associated with native American tribes on the plains — modern field hockey does have its roots partially in a game that was played on North American soil long before colonial civilization called Shinny.

    St. Joe’s (currently ranked sixth in the country) will play Drexel at Noon on Sunday, St. Louis on October 25, #10 Harvard and will end the season with LaSalle at home on November 1st. 

    The talent of this Hawks team may play well into the A10 Tournament. Winning games and setting records.

  • St. Joseph’s University, Barnes Foundation team up to offer museum education graduate degree

    St. Joseph’s University, Barnes Foundation team up to offer museum education graduate degree

    Saint Joseph’s University will train future museum educators through a new program with the Barnes Foundation.

    This fall, St. Joe’s will offer an online museum education graduate program including a Master of Arts in museum education degree and a museum education certificate. Through the program, students will learn how to share knowledge in an inclusive and engaging way with visitors to all types of museums, institutes and historical sites.

    Offered as a fully online program with synchronous and asynchronous aspects, the 30-credit M.A. curriculum covers the history and philosophy of museums, museum management, and pedagogical practices for gallery-based teaching. The certificate also covers those subject areas, but to complete it students need only four courses totaling 12 credits. 

    Students enrolled in the program will have access to the Barnes’ Visual Experience Platform, an online learning tool catered toward the study of visual material. It allows users to zoom in on artwork and interact with fellow students and educators. Local students in the program will have internship opportunities at the Barnes, located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, as well as at St. Joe’s Frances M. Maguire Art Museum — housed just off the Hawk Hill campus in Merion in the original Barnes’ gallery building.

    The museum education program builds on St. Joe’s existing partnership with the Barnes — a nonprofit cultural institution and art collection established in 1922 by collector and educator Dr. Albert C. Barnes. Since 2018, St. Joe’s and the Barnes have worked together to offer classes, workshops and the Barnes Horticulture Certificate Program. While the Barnes collection moved to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2012, the organization continues to oversee a 12-acre arboretum by the Hawk Hill campus that’s open to the public daily.

    “The uniqueness of our new museum education program lies in the strength of the partnership between the Barnes and SJU,” Joshua Power, dean of St. Joe’s School of Education and Human Development, said in a release. “This program was co-created by these two great institutions to provide a one-of-a-kind educational experience tailored specifically to the museum industry and advancing your museum career.”
