Dear Art and Art History Student,
We are reaching out to invite you to be part of a new program in our department. We are starting a mentorship program that will engage undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and staff in a creative community that is intended to provide support and success for everyone involved.听听听
The program was created to support all who promote diversity in our department, whether through your identity as a first-generation student, as part of an under-represented group, or as an ally.听听听
Undergraduates who become part of the community will have the chance to have a graduate student mentor for one-on-one conversations, as well as invitations to regular events including outings to art openings, presentations from alumni who have been successful as artists, curators, and teachers, and other social gatherings.听听听
If you would like to be part of this community, please let us know by sharing your contact information and letting us know a little about yourself at this .听
All good wishes,听
Jeanne Quinn, Professor of Art Practices in Ceramics听
Lia Pileggi, Visual Resource Center Staff听
