Transformations of Sites and Symbols: New Undergraduate Research in Art History recognizes the scholarly achievements of senior undergraduate students studying Art History and Visual Culture in the Department of Art, Art History and Design at Michigan State University. 

The 2021 Symposium features six independent research projects by students enrolled in HA 499, Senior Research and Professional Development Seminar. As the capstone experience for Art History and Visual Culture majors, the course addresses career planning as well as engages students in the production of a substantial scholarly paper under the guidance of an art history faculty mentor.
