GW Museum Education Program Celebrates 50 Years

The George Washington Museum Education Program(MEP) celebrated its 50th anniversary in October as well as the launch of the commemorative publication, "Museum Change Agents Making the World a Better Place," edited by Lotte Lent and Greg Stevens.

Welcome remarks were provided by John Wetenhall, director of the George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum. Speakers included President Ellen M. Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey and Michael Feuer, the dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development.
