LIM College 87th Commencement Ceremony
Overview
Join us for the 2026 NYCMER Annual Conference on Monday, May 18 at The American Museum of Natural History. This year’s theme is “Action!”
Museums are cornerstones of learning, community engagement, and civic life, yet they now face escalating political, financial, and environmental pressures. These challenges call on cultural workers to respond with clarity, courage, and imagination. This year’s conference asks how we—individually and institutionally—can take action to uphold our missions, support our communities, and sustain our field in a time of crisis.
