Re:       January 20, 2011 presentation

Thank you for the opportunity to address your group on a matter of mutual concern; i.e., the mission of the Hull House Museum, as mandated by Board policy.  The success in the implementation of that policy was also touched upon in that presentation. The following, for our mutual edification, is extracted from the Museum’s mission statement.  The full body of that mission statement is available.
          

Mission Statement

The museum embodies UIC’s urban land grant commitment by preserving and developing the original Hull House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement.   Read more…
