Historic Preservation Program Event

Triumphs and Challenges: How the National Parks System Is Reshaping Preservation to Include All America

Please join the Historic Preservation Program for the Marvin Breckinridge Patterson lecture, reception and workshop featuring Dr. Robert G. Stanton, former director of the National Park Service (NPS). As NPS’ first African American director, Dr. Stanton has taken particular interest in increasing the diversity of the service’s staff and public programs to better serve minority populations. Dr. Stanton will touch upon the challenges and responsibilities of the NPS to provide opportunities for ALL America– particularly our youth and diverse audiences, to connect with our nation’s rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage.

The reception and lecture will be held on Wednesday, February 5th from 5-7 p.m. in the Architecture Building auditorium. We encourage all UMD students, faculty, staff and alumni to attend the workshop the following day.

Details are below and on our website. Please RSVP by Feb 3rd here.
