Roger Rearick Forum
Hosted annually by our department, the Roger Rearick Forum showcases current research by our graduate students. Advanced students who wish to be considered for inclusion in the Middle Atlantic or Barnes Symposiums in the History of Art are invited to present papers to our departmental community at this event. One student will be chosen to present at each of these prestigious regional symposia.
