WELCOME to Incoming 2006-2007 UCLA Art History Graduate Students
 
   

On behalf of the UCLA Art History graduate student, faculty, and staff community, we want to extend an early welcome to the department as summer begins. We're all looking forward to meeting you in the fall! In an effort to ease the transition to Los Angeles (for many of you) and graduate study at UCLA (for all of you), we've designed an  informal orientation website with links to other useful sites. We'll also do our best to keep this page updated with any news that arises over the summer. Sometime in August, a  student handbook will be mailed to each of you. In the meantime, we hope the resources below are of help. 
 

Several years ago, we also began a "mentorship" program of sorts, in order to connect each interested incoming student with someone already in the program. If you would like your very own mentor, a familiar face upon the first day of classes, or just someone to contact with questions or concerns over the summer, please email Amanda Herring with your name, summer email address and telephone number, and academic areas of interest. Friendly mentors are lined up and waiting!

Welcome, again, and have a great summer-
Ed Rothfarb (Orientation Committee).

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!


Wednesday, September 27, 2006
12 noon in Dodd Hall 50

for the department’s annual potluck. Join us for lunch. Meet and welcome the new grad students! Enjoy the newly-renovated grad offices!!

Art History is providing a variety of sandwiches, roasted red potato salad, fruit, lemon bars and sparkling/bottled waters. But contributions from all of you – such as additional side salads and dishes, chips/dips, crudités, desserts, sodas, etc. are needed. Please contact Ed Rothfarb at edroth@earthlink.net to let him know what you’ll be bringing to the feast.

Looking forward to seeing you there…
