Elizabeth Rodini, Associate Director of the Program in Museums and Society, is a winner of the Excellence in Teaching Award in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.

Follow the adventures of "Twitter Jay and the Re-cyclists," JHU's first entry in the Kinetic Sculpture Race, run on May 2, 2009 and sponsored by the American Visionary Arts Museum.  Students from Arts and Sciences and Engineering joined forces to tackle a daunting 15-mile course through sand, mud, water, and some bumpy city streets . . . .  A team is reforming for 2010.  Contact Museums and Society if you are interested in participating.

Students in the fall 2009 course, Introduction to the Museum: Issues and Ideas, researched, wrote, and produced their own museum newsletters.  This work by Kit Harris, Pia Heilmann, and Lindsay Tauscher was voted best in the class.

Several Museums and Society shows were featured in the spring, 2008 issue of the Krieger School's Arts & Sciences Magazine and in President Brody's congratulatory letter to the University community.
