Recent Changes in the Art Department
Welcome Back

Summer officially ends this weekend and with it brings trips to orchards, shifting to sweatshirts and sweaters and the ever increasing need to bury your nose in a book.  Welcome back to Autumn in Michigan .  

This year the Department of Art and Art History welcomes many new faces to it's halls including a new chair, Dr. Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier , a new graphic design professor, Danielle Aubert and a new graphic design/electronic arts professor, Christobal Mendoza.  They will soon be finding that the slide to winter can be quite quick.

Dr. Joost-Gaugier, a distinguished art historian and Renaissance scholar, has returned to academe after a period of research and publishing.  She has held faculty appointments from Tufts University , New Mexico State University, University of New Mexico and taught while an independent scholar in Washington D.C. at George Washington University , Georgetown University and the University of Maryland , College Park .
