Huge congratulations to my stellar students from ARTHIST 275: Modern Architecture, Fall 2018. An unprecedented three final comparison papers from that course by Olivia Chang (International Studies major, Art History minor / senior); Bethany Greene (Economics major, Architectural Studies minor / junior); and Jennifer Wang (Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology Major, Architectural Studies minor / junior) won Emory College, Emory University Libraries, and Art History Department prizes. I couldn’t be prouder of the research and analytical work they undertook to produce such justifiably heralded essays. Congrats, Olivia, Bethany, and Jen! See their topics below:
