Video profiles art history prof

3:20 p.m., July 15, 2005--Bernard L. Herman, director of UD’s Center for Material Culture Studies and the Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Art History, is featured in a new installment of UD’s Windows on The Green video profiles series, posted at [www.udel.edu/PR/windows/].

The video highlights Herman’s career at UD, where he began straight out of graduate school with a one-year appointment to teach history and American studies in 1977. It shows his work teaching students strategies to interpret physical objects of everyday life and presents his plans for research and writing about the early architecture of the Delaware Valley.

Herman joins 11 other named professors thus far profiled in the Windows on The Green series, which presents video snapshots of faculty members who enrich the intellectual life of the University. It was initiated to mark the endowment of UD’s 100th named professorship earlier this year. An endowed chair is one of the highest honors a faculty member can receive and one of the most important gifts a donor can make to the University.

Information Technologies-University Media Services and the Office of Public Relations are producing additional profiles for the series.
