An annual night of fun, organized with the help of AHMP students

On Wednesday November 2nd, 2022, the Morgan Library & Museum hosted its annual College Night. The 2022 event was a true return to pre-pandemic engagement, and student attendance surpassed levels seen even before Covid-19.

Every Friday night at the Morgan is free admission from 5:00–7:00 p.m. Many of the Morgan’s public programs, including lectures and film screenings, are also free for students! Visit the programs page on the Morgan’s website to learn about events and email tickets@themorgan.com to reserve.

College Night at the Morgan is a yearly event, with free and after-hours access to the Morgan for all current college students, both undergraduate and graduate. It is also an opportunity for Fashion Institute of Technology students in the Art History and Museum Professions program to design an activity for their peers and gain experience in museum education and programming.

The 2022 student committee consisted of Nico Frederick, Christina Pene, Sofia Santos, Raleigh Smith, and Emma Sosebee. Their team created a scavenger hunt for the Morgan’s historic library with Morgan memberships as prizes.

This collaboration, entering its fourth year in fall 2023, engages students with Nicole Leist, Manager of Education Programs at the Morgan, for a series of behind-thescenes planning and implementation meetings that culminate in the live program during College Night. It’s an opportunity for students to design a museum activity for their peers and their community.
