The Eleanor Greenhill Symposium is an annual event that provides an opportunity for Art History graduate students to present their research to the larger departmental and campus community. The symposium is designed both to encourage the sharing of ideas and to showcase the work of our graduate students. In addition to providing a space for students to share their scholarship, the symposium also provides an opportunity to mingle with other students and faculty.
This year’s event is held in memory of Eddie Habib, beloved Classroom Technology Coordinator for more than twenty years, who passed away earlier this year.
