Congratulations to Art History alumna, Suzanne McLeod, Ph.D., who was invited to present her work in progress at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome on June 18, 2024.

She has a forthcoming article derived from her dissertation research and is in the process of preparing her manuscript for publication.
