Mapping Institute of Fine Arts Alumni is an online interactive map that visualizes the international reach of the Institute of Fine Arts’ alumni. The map uses d3.js to manipulate our alumni data set. Now, visitors to our website can locate the current employment status of over 1,000 active IFA alumni.
Mapping IFA Alumni can be used as a recruitment tool. For example, prospective students can see how many museum directors worldwide were educated at the Institute, or what percentage of our alumni work in conservation. The map can also be used by our current students and alumni to find each other when they travel the globe visiting museums.
This project was a collaboration between the IFA’s Web and Electronic Media Manager, Jason Varone, and a student in NYU’s ITP program, Sagar Mohite. Sagar graduated last semester.
