As co-chairs of the Art History Club at Case Western Reserve Universi ty\, we cordially invite art history majors from your university to partici pate in our Fourth Annual Undergraduate Art History Symposium\, which will be held on Friday\, March 2\, 2007. We would ask you to please notify art history majors in your department\, particularly juniors and seniors\, abou t this opportunity.
After the success of last year's symposium\, whic h drew representatives from eight different universities\, we are excited t o expand this dialogue to include your students. In addition\, we hope tha t this event will once again serve as a valuable experience for all partici pants\, especially those who plan to pursue graduate degrees in art history and present research at symposiums in the future.
Any interested stu dents should email a one-page abstract and a copy of a recently written res earch paper to CaseArtHistoryClub@gmail.com by February 2 (one submission per student\, please). Members of the Art History Club s ymposium committee will review the submissions and notify those selected to present by February 9. Students should be aware that\, if chosen\, they w ill be responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the e vent. Presentations should be kept to fifteen minutes\, as audience member s will be allowed to ask questions.
While calling for participants\, we would also like to take this opportunity to invite the faculty of your d epartment as well. Since our goal is to bring together as many people with different backgrounds\, experiences\, and approaches to art as possible\, your presence will enhance the impact of this educational opportunity.
