Networking Soirée

Students - Come to a Networking Soirée, hosted by the Department of Art History. Business casual dress is encouraged.


Looking to meet new people? Practice networking and polish your conversation skills? You can do it - all in a relaxed no-judgment zone with other students.

Plus, we've invited members of the local arts community, Art History alumnx, and faculty and campus staff from a variety of disciplines and administrative offices to join us. They want to afford you a rare opportunity to engage in the kinds of conversations that you'll certainly have going forward. Practicing your networking skills now can help you spark meaningful professional relationships and expand your network of connections in the real world later.

Refreshments will be served!

For any accessibility questions or necessary accommodations, please contact Department Chair, Keely Heuer, at (845) 257-3829 or heuerk@newpaltz.edu.

Saving the Past for the Future:

Combatting the Illicit Antiquities Trade
with Col. Matthew Bogdanos (Ret.)

Col. Matthew Bogdanos has led the fight to protect antiquities and ensure their return to their rightful homes since he spent months directing an operation to recover thousands of antiquities looted from the Iraq National Museum in Baghdad during the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

A recipient of the Bronze Star and a National Humanities Medal, he turned his passion into the Antiquities Trafficking Unit, the world's first prosecutorial squad dedicated to antiquities thievery, which has recovered more than 4000 ancient objects valued at more than $200 million. He continues to serve as a prosecutor for the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

For any accessibility questions or necessary accommodations, please contact Department Chair, Keely Heuer, at (845) 257-3829 or heuerk@newpaltz.edu

Free

Attendees will be able to purchase copies of Col. Bogdanos's book, Thieves of Baghdad, for $20 (cash preferred) and have them autographed by the author.
