It may not come as a surprise that Pitt neighbor Mister Rogers left an imprint on the School of Education and related programs, but the Department of English, too? His approach to childhood development is alive on campus and beyond even today.
With the upcoming Nov. 22 release of the film “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” Pittwire Health is celebrating the values that Fred Rogers and his mentor, Pitt child psychologist and associate professor Margaret B. McFarland, contributed to the fields of education, culture, media and child psychology.
