Professor Michael Yonan has been recognized for his outstanding work as the art history graduate advisor with a Graduate Program Advising and Mentoring Award. Because graduate advising and mentoring are vital for guiding students through their degrees and professional development, and also helping to ensure their overall success and well-being, Graduate Studies established the Graduate Program Advising and Mentoring Awards to provide graduate programs with an easy way to recognize faculty doing outstanding service in advising and mentoring at the program level.

According to one graduate student, Professor Yonan “created a very accessible and cordial presence that made him the go-to person when we had questions or issues about the grad program…. [O]ur cohort calls him ‘our art history angel.’”

Thank you and congratulations Professor Yonan.
