Educating worldwide audiences
To solve a 17th-century murder
mystery, Booz Allen and the Smithsonian
Institution National Museum
of Natural History combined
science and fiction into an awardwinning
program. As part of a pro
bono project, the firm developed an
interactive Webcomic, “The Secret
in the Cellar—A Written in Bone
Forensic Mystery from Colonial
America” (http://writteninbone.
si.edu/comic), that helps users interpret
forensic information.
The Webcomic—just one aspect of
the exhibition “Written in Bone:
Forensic Files of the 17th-Century
Chesapeake,” on view through January
6, 2013—won the 2009 Best
Practices in Distance Learning
Programming Gold Prize from the
US Distance Learning Association.
Booz Allen is the lead sponsor for
this exhibition.
Deepening national pride
For four years, Booz Allen has partnered
with the Music Center at
Strathmore and Maryland Public
Television to air a star-studded concert
on PBS stations nationwide,
part of a Veterans Day salute to all
women and men who serve in the
US armed forces. The 2009 concert,
“America’s Veterans: A Musical
Tribute,” began airing on November
11 and featured the US Air Force
Symphony Orchestra and the Singing
Sergeants, along with a variety
of guest artists.
Booz Allen was also a lead sponsor
of “George Washington & His Generals:
Highlighting Excellence in
Leadership and Innovative Military
Strategy,” which offered unprecedented
revelations into America’s
dramatic past and drew crowds
to the new Donald W. Reynolds
Museum and Education Center at
historic Mount Vernon.
