Fall Visit Day, October 17, 2025

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 visit begins with a brief Welcome beginning at 9:00 AM (EST).  Program Director Dr. Martin Brückner will offer an Introduction to the Program explaining the Program’s mission, methods, faculty, and application process. Pre-registration is required.

Following the welcome, you have the choice to attend our Thesis Seminar from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EST). Prospective applicants will be able to observe 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 and respondents; please feel free to attend as many sessions as you like. Pre-registration required for each event. 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 after the information session. You may also join current Fellows for lunch mid-day.

The University of Delaware’s educational mission is to prepare students to live in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world. To do so, we are committed to fostering a robust educational environment that supports critical thinking, free inquiry, and an understanding of diverse views and values. We see diversity as a core value and guiding principle for our educational mission and thus must work to make diversity an integral part of everyday life on campus. To this end, we take diversity to mean both the recognition and appreciation of the different backgrounds, values, and ideas of those who comprise our campus, as well as a commitment to ensuring that all people on our campus are treated according to principles of fairness, civility, dignity, and equity. We are committed to building an educational community that understands people from different backgrounds and economic circumstances, with different needs, and from diverse personal and philosophical beliefs. We want to make all people who are part of the University feel welcome and valued in campus life.  If you have any questions, please reach out to us at winterthurprogram@udel.edu
