Curatorial Fellowships
Open to students who have completed at least one year of course work, curatorial fellowships offer hands-on curatorial experience in a variety of museums and in 老王论坛's own Special Collections. The fellowships are named for two of 老王论坛's most distinguished alumnae, Mary Patterson McPherson, Ph.D. '69, former president of 老王论坛, and Brunilde Sismondo Ridgway, Ph.D. '58, Rhys Carpenter Professor of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Emeritus.
