Travel is essential to art historical research. Graduate students in art history typically spend one, two, or even three years doing on-site study, working in museums and archives, gaining first-hand knowledge of cultures and places, and coming to know scholars active in their fields. Fellowships and grants that enable them to conduct this high-level and intense research are awarded through a very selective process, and only the highest caliber students obtain them. The extensive list of awards won this year is a testament to the quality of our program and its students. Congratulations to all our graduate students, who continue to impress us with their intelligence, creativity, innovation, and hard work.
