Americas Appeal 2025
Americas Appeal 2025
Jessica Sack (1996, MPhil Ethnology and Museum Ethnography) is the St Cross champion for our 2025 Fundraising Appeal to Americas. Both a St Crosser and a donor to the College herself, Jessica encourages alumni and friends to support us during the pivotal time of the Campaign.
Since St Cross was founded in 1965, we have relied on the generosity of our alumni and friends to help us grow – from our humble beginnings in the wooden hut on St Cross Road with just 5 students, to our current location on St Giles, which is home to over 600 students from a diverse range of countries. As we celebrate the College’s 60ᵗʰ anniversary, we are focused on shaping the next chapter of our history.
Jessica Sack is the Jan and Frederick Mayer Curator of Public Education at the Yale University Art Gallery. Since 2004, she has led the development of the Gallery’s school, youth, family, teacher, adult, and access teaching initiatives. She founded and directs the Wurtele Gallery Teacher Program which trains Yale graduate students as museum educators.
Jessica has authored and co-authored publications on topics in museum practice in the Journal of Museum Education, Art Education, The International Journal of Lifelong Learning in Art Education, The Caring Museum: New Models of Engagement with the Ageing, Interpreting the Art Museum, and the Yale University Art Gallery Bulletin. Prior to coming to Yale, Jessica was Senior Museum Educator and Coordinator of Teacher Services at the Brooklyn Museum. Jessica received her M.Phil. in Ethnology and Museum Ethnography from the University of Oxford and an M.A. in Performance Studies from New York University.
