50th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend

We're looking forward to welcoming back our alumni and former members of staff on the 13th of September, 2014, for our Departmental Lunch!

On the 12-14 of September, the University of Essex will be hosting out 50th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend.

Art History at Essex is delighted to invite all of our former staff and students along to a FREE departmental lunch from 12:30pm - 2:30pm on Saturday 13th of September.

This will be a relaxed affair and will give you the opportunity to catch up with former colleagues, especially those you haven't seen for years - or maybe even decades!
