2017 marks a 20-year collaboration of the Smithsonian Institution and Montgomery College.

The anniversary celebrates the Smithsonian Faulty Fellowship Program, a partnership between the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access and the Paul Peck Humanities Institute at Montgomery College.

The celebration reception will be held at the Smithsonian Institution Castle Building, 1000 Jefferson Drive, S.W., Washington, D.C. on Thurs., May 4 from 3-5 p.m. All members of the College community are invited.

Organizers recommend public transportation, as parking is difficult.

“The reception recognizes the accomplishments of the 2016 cohort and officially welcomes the 2017 cohort to the Smithsonian Faculty Fellowship Program. The 2016 Report, “American Ingenuity, Innovation and Enterprise,” will be released at the reception,” according to the press release.
