"Coursework in art history, archaeology and ancient languages at GW and abroad provided me with global and interdisciplinary perspectives. Prof. Friedland’s tutoring and mentorship motivated me to pursue graduate studies and, most importantly, enabled me to think critically [about] why studying ancient cultures matters."
