Texas Southern University will be represented by four students at the inaugural HBCU Summer Teachers Institute in Technical Art (STITAH) at Yale University. The Institute will be held June 2-9, 2017 in New Haven, Connecticut. Chanise Epps, Robert Riojas, Kei Takahashi, and Michael Marie Thomas were four of 11 students selected in a national search to participate in the professional development course geared toward HBCU students. Dr. Alvia Wardlaw, director of the University Museum at Texas Southern University and professor of Art History, mentors the students and will accompany them at the eight-day workshop. This intensive program in art conservation will focus on the protection and care of tangible artifacts and works of art as well as tours of the Sterling Memorial Library and Archives, the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, and the African American Cultural Center.
