The 29th Misty Dailey Awards Ceremony
Posted in Announcements News News
On Thursday, May 6th, we celebrated our students at the 29th annual Misty Dailey Awards. Together with the Dailey Family, the Art and Art History Department annually recognizes and awards exceptional work by Georgetown University Art and Art History students. The awards honor the memory of Frances Louise “Misty” Dailey, an art major at Georgetown, who passed away in 1978 during her senior year. Her family has long supported the arts at Georgetown and endows these awards in Misty’s name.
Our regular tradition of catered dinner and awards in person was not possible this year. Instead, we hosted the ceremony on Zoom with remarks from faculty and students compiled into one video. We were joined by over 100 students, faculty, friends, and donors of the department.
We are grateful to all who made the event possible!
Congratulations to all of our winners!
