[Bcma-l] Summer Students - SFU Gallery

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

The SFU Gallery did not receive a summer student this year. Last year was
the first time that we applied to the program, and received funding. This
year we again applied for 1 position, but did not receive it...It's all a
big mystery.
