This is the second event for 2011/2012 in the Sister Jeanne File Art History Lecture Series at Daemen. 

The title of Periti’s presentation will be "Art, Gender, and Monastic Space in Renaissance Italy." This event is free and open to the public. This program is supported, in part, by a grant from The New York Council for the Humanities.

"I think one of the most crucial aspects of the Daemen curriculum is the required internship. I was an accounting intern for both a private health care company and a certified public accounting firm. I was able to apply lessons learned in the classroom to real business situations. When my internships were over, each company offered me a full-time position."
