To meet the needs of Hagley’s younger audience members, in 2015 Hagley created a program called Engineering Endeavors for grades six to eight. In each of six workshops, students delve deeply into a different area of engineering. One partner for this new Henry B. duPont IV program is Serviam Girls Academy in New Castle, Delaware. President It’s a perfect partnership. Serviam challenges its students to become leaders who serve their families and the needs of society through a rigorous academic program, and Hagley has the means to help them achieve these goals. My wife Roniece and I had the opportunity to visit with the students during their last class and were amazed at the ingenuity the students used to solve the egg challenge. They each outfitted a contraption to carry a raw egg down a series of inclines. If the egg survived, the final drop was from a high wall. Humpty Dumpty would have been better off for having these young women watching over him! I am pleased to report that several eggs survived even the highest fall.

Dear Friends, through Hagley’s doors. In support of the ambitious program Since its founding in the 1950s, Hagley Museum and outlined by HHC, the library has also created a department, Library has earned a reputation as the world’s premier the Hagley Oral History Project Office. As business center for the study and interpretation of the history of organizations develop new record-keeping priorities and business, technology, and innovation. That reputation rests, strategies in the digital age, the importance of documenting in large part, on Hagley’s ongoing commitment to two and processing conversations with key stakeholders will complementary goals.

The library’s popular “Author With best wishes, Talks” series experienced a banner year, as attendance at these public lectures increased by more than 76 percent. Inspired by the strong response to these lectures, the library offered a semester-long course, “Hagley Does History,” to students at the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. This course, which featured weekly presentations by library staff David A. Cole members and a culminating visit to the library’s Manuscripts & Executive Director Archives collections, was fully and enthusiastically subscribed, encouraging the library to offer the course again in 2016. And speaking of higher education partnerships…2015 was the inaugural year for the Miller Center/Hagley Library Fellowship in Business and Politics, a one-year, in-residence dissertation fellowship created in partnership with the University of ’s Miller Center. 2015 Fellow Jonathan Free was the first of many scholars who will expand Hagley’s understanding of the intersections between business and the political sphere under the auspices of this exciting program. I am also pleased to report that Hagley’s audience engagement efforts extended far beyond the local community. In partnership with colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution, the museum loaned several artifacts, representing the Kevlar-focused work of inventor , to the National Museum of American History. These artifacts are now prominently featured in the NMAH’s new Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, where they are accessible to a national audience of more than six million DONOR LISTING
