Art History Majors Present Senior Thesis Projects

The graduating art history majors will be presenting their senior thesis projects this Friday, May 1, from 10:00 to 3:30 in MC 212. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the kinds of research projects the majors in our program have chosen to work on. Even if you can only come to one or two presentations, we encourage you to carve some time out of your day to join us.
