3. Executive Summary
• The Harn Museum of Art offers many professional opportunities for students to advance their professional
careers. Our target audience is University of Florida students that could benefit from an internship or
volunteer opportunity at the Harn.
• The Harn faces several specific issues when striving to get students to utilize the museum professionally.
Our research shows that the Harn lacks audience outreach; the social media platforms of facebook, twitter
and instagram are followed by few university students and are not posted on consistently. University
administrators, professors and staff are also mostly unaware of the opportunities at the Harn museum and
thus do not direct students to them. Students have reported that the Harn appears boring or unattractive
making the attraction of interns difficult. There also exists a clear lack of awareness among students that
the Harn even offers internships. One of the largest threats faced by the Harn is students are not choosing
to do their internships and volunteer programs with the Harn, but instead, choosing to do it with other UF
programs or outside programs. Students that are not familiar with all the offerings of Harn internships will
look past it and apply to different organizations. The Harn also does not offer paid internships so if a
student can find an internship that gives them credit, experience and pay he or she will most likely choose
that alternative.
• In order to address these issues, we will focus on the internship opportunities already offered by the Harn
and develop additional opportunities. We will conduct a survey among targeted students to determine
awareness levels of Harn internships, how many students have considered applying for an internship or
have already applied in order to better elevate Harn awareness among students. We will conduct surveys
among students who currently intern at the Harn and ask what they enjoy and do not enjoy about the
programs. We will run a focus group to determine what students look for in a Harn internship program in
order to prepare a plan for the Harn to cater to these desires. Using a social media campaign, we will
increase internship opportunity awareness among university students by 5 percent over the next year and
then follow up with a survey to measure outreach success.

the target of new 200 likes and follows in a 4 month timeframe. It’s
important to note that the average interactions per post have increased
by 50% from 16 to 32 . ‹The social content team has done a remarkable
job of posting new upcoming events and pictures of the art. We have far
surpassed our goal of increasing visual content by 30% in 4 months on
Facebook and Instagram and achieved a 300% increase on both channels.
A key tactic to this growth has been our ability to track user generated
content with the #UFHarnexperience hashtag and share it on our
networks. This content is received very well within our community and
we want to increase awareness in the UF community in order to attract
future interns
