WHAT FORMER STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HMI GUIDE TRAINING:

"I first became involved in HMI through the 2005 guide training course. Guide training enriched my life and deepened my understanding of Milwaukee in significant ways that are still revealing themselves to me today and positively impacting my life. Guide training also sharpened my sense of sight and has reconnected me to my Milwaukee roots". 

- Anna-Marie Opgenorth, Executive Director of HMI


"HMI Guide Training was my inroad to the community."
- Annemarie Sawkins, Ph.D., Marquette University/Haggerty Museum of Art
