In honor of Clifford T. Chieffo's 50 year career at Georgetown University, the Library is hosting a special exhibition exploring the development of his role as a professor and curator at Georgetown, from the founding of the Department of Art, Music & Theater in 1967 through today.

Professor Chieffo, who curated the exhibition, joined the University during a period of great growth and change. During his career he saw the establishment of the Faculty Senate, women admitted to the College, undergraduate admissions starting national recruitment, and the construction and opening of Lauinger Library. The pieces in the exhibition reflect those major events in University history as well as major events in Professor Chieffo's own professional life as a teacher and scholar here at Georgetown.
