William Ammentorp, Professor Emeritus
Special acknowledgment is owed to William Ammentorp,
Professor Emeritus and Past-Chairman of EdPA. It
was at Dr. Ammentorp's urging that work began on the
establishment of what has become the Virtual Museum of
Education Iconics. Dr. Ammentorp foresaw the potential of
the internet in relation to higher education. He immediately
recognized the suitability of the web for Education Iconics
displays and related text. He not only encouraged the
development of the VMEI, he assigned departmental personnel
to enable its establishment. Dr. Ammentorp's keen vision has
been confirmed. Visits to the VMEI now number in the
millions. Visitors continue to arrive from all quarters of
the globe.
CEHD Web Team
Special acknowledgment is also owed to the Web Team at the
College of Education and Human Development at the University
of Minnesota who is charged with current the design and
maintenance of the Education Iconics website. Part of the
Academic and Information Technology Office, the Web Team
maintains over 200 websites at the University of Minnesota.
