Senior Talks in Art History 2025

After a full year of research and hard work, Art History honors students concluded their remarkable journey with the completion of their senior theses, which all received High Honors, and a public presentation at Boger Hall well attended by faculty and students.

Art History honors candidates Valerie Gottridge ’25, Emily Petersdorf ’25, Chloe Schaeffer ’25, and Sophie Raiskin-Wood ’25 presented their Senior Talks in Art History at Boger Hall, Room 112 on Thursday, April 24th.

The honors thesis coordinator, Professor Okechukwu Nwafor said at the event, “I know the journey has been fraught with so many challenges, deadlines, anxieties…. But I am so happy that we have finally come to the end of this intellectually stimulating journey with the presentation of these senior theses.”

Families of the thesis writers showed their support by watching the presentations over Zoom. The Art History Program held a reception at the Art History Commons after the talks. Congratulations to the students on this great accomplishment!
