When freshman Brian Inlow heard about the Mathers Museum of World Cultures docent (museum volunteer) program, he couldn’t help but perk up. The opportunity was right up his alley. “I became interested in joining the docent program because I am really fascinated by other cultures,” Inlow said. “I love learning about the things that make different groups of people unique, and I figured that volunteering at Mathers could help me continue to extend my cultural awareness and knowledge.”
