The Royal Ontario Museum’s Traveling EduKits



Chris Jamroz is the current CEO of STG Holdings, LLC, where he oversees the company’s offering of distribution and warehousing services. Beyond his work, Chris Jamroz supports the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and is part of its board of governors.

Further to its exhibits, the ROM offers a range of educational packages for those studying outside of its building. Chief among these are its Traveling EduKits, which are packages of ROM materials that schools, museums, and libraries can rent to offer students hands-on time with some of the museum’s exhibits, including specimens, reproductions, and models. Each kit comes with a full lesson plan that meshes with Ontario’s K-12 educational curriculum.

The ROM makes its traveling EduKits available in four packages, with the smallest offering designed for individual study or for use with small groups of students. Its deluxe package contains enough materials to conduct lessons for two classes, each with 25-30 students. Further, the museum offers organizations the option to rent an EduKit for anywhere from two weeks to a full school year.

The Family Camera - An Exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum




Holding an MBA from York University, Chris Jamroz oversees business operations at STG Holdings LLC, a New Jersey-based entity focused on comprehensive logistics. A sought-after executive leader, Chris Jamroz recently accepted an appointment to the Board of Governors of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).

Since its opening in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum has expanded into one of the premier venues of its kind in the world. The architecture alone has garnered rave reviews, and it reflects a rich history of commitment to the arts and sciences. Its exhibitions include everything from international artwork to fossilized specimens from the prehistoric age.

Until October 29, 2017, ROM will feature an exhibition titled The Family Camera, which explores how people, culture-to-culture, photographically represent the concept of family. The collection of photos in this display depict times of migration, both in terms of how people navigate shifts in culture and how they strive to be accepted in new lands.
