Thursday, December 3rd 5:00PM, Grad student lounge (Lasserre 204)
This Thursday at 5:00, the Art History Students Association is hosting a coffee house with our department’s graduate students. This is an opportunity to meet fellow Art History undergrads, as well as get to know students working towards MAs and Phds in both Art History and Curatorial Studies. Come with all of your questions and curiosities about grad school, and enjoy some free coffee and snacks while engaging in a discussion about where your pursuits in academia may lead you. Whether you are already applying to programs, or just curious to see what grad school is all about, a casual information session such as this is the perfect place to have answered all your questions about the application process, how graduate programs are structured, information about different universities, or the graduate study workload and lifestyle.
