“Professor Guile was one of the most influential professors I had during my time at ԱƵ. I was fortunate enough to take several classes with her. Even though I was not an art history major, Professor Guile reignited my passion for the arts—in particular, Western European architecture. Looking back at my ԱƵ experience, I would definitely say the courses that I took with Professor Guile (and the academic advice she provided outside the classroom) helped shape my ԱƵ journey.”
