Visit Day, Oct 29, 2021

Program Visit Days are an informative experience for prospective applicants considering admission to the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. Preregistration is required.

2022 Visit Days will take place at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library and will also be delivered virtually via Zoom on four fall Fridays—join us in-person or remotely—your choice.

On each Friday, your 8:30 AM (EST) in-person or 8:45 AM (EST) virtual visit begins with an Information / Q & A session explaining the Program’s mission, methods, faculty, and application process. Program Director, Dr. Martin Brückner will share this introduction to the Program in-person and via Zoom, during each of the four Visit Days (preregistration required). 

Following the introduction to the Program, your in-person or virtual visit may also include attendance at Thesis Seminar at 10 AM (EST). During this class, prospective applicants will watch two second-year Fellows present their thesis research (to date), followed by questions and comments by the Program faculty and Fellows. Each of the four Thesis Seminars will feature two different presenters; please feel free to attend as many sessions as you like (preregistration required). Thesis Seminar ends at ~12:00 PM and includes a break between presenters.

For those visiting in-person, you may choose to arrange self-guided tours (Gardens open at 9:30 and Galleries open at 10:00) after the information session. You may also join current Fellows for lunch mid-day.

For those attending in-person and remotely, you may choose to join us for a Collections Tour after lunch; if joining the Collections Tour, your day will end at ~4:15 PM (EST).

 
Diversity is a core value of the educational experience here at the University of Delaware, and the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. We want diversity to be both a compositional and intellectual enterprise in order to foster a more inclusive, engaged and welcoming campus.
