Our Art History program recently held a special event to celebrate its 10th Anniversary.

The gathering was led by Dr. Radha Dalal, the Director of the Art History program at VCUarts Qatar and included a welcome speech by Dean Amir Berbić.

The event, which took place at the Atrium at VCUarts Qatar, included distinguished guests, partners, faculty, alumni, and students.

“As the youngest program at VCUarts Qatar, our phenomenal growth is testament to the dedication of our art history faculty, the enthusiasm and perseverance of our students, and the unwavering support of VCUarts Qatar, VCU, and Qatar Foundation,” Dr. Dalal said.

Dr. Dalal noted that the Art History program has produced three valedictorians from seven graduating classes, and enrolled nearly 200 students in the major and minor.

“We teach with the hope of nurturing a more inclusive, empathetic, and intellectually nimble global citizenry poised to solve the formidable problems facing humanity,” she said. “It is to these dynamic individuals, and their peers around the globe, that we’ll ultimately turn for leadership.

“In our mission to educate the next generations, partnerships with various entities under Qatar Foundation, Qatar Museums, and other educational and cultural institutions in Doha, are key to the program’s continued success, to its multiversity interests, to the advancement of our graduates, and to shaping our human family’s future ahead.”
