Congratulations Suzy

Suzy Sikorski, a prior Incoming Fall 2014 study abroad student, has received a Fulbright Scholarship to return to the UAE next year to pursue her studies in art history under Dr. Martin Giesen in CAAD. Her work will focus on “weaving the tales of Emirati artists’ pasts within the ever transforming UAE city landscape”. Congratulations to Suzy Sikorski, and we can’t wait to have her back!
