Doctoral Student Margaret Marshall Andrews Awarded 2011-2012 Rome Prize

Margaret Marshall Andrews, a student in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World graduate group, has been awarded a 2011-2012 Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome. The prize recognizes excellence in the arts and humanities and provides students the opportunity to live in Rome for six months to two years and utilize the Academy's vast resources to immerse themselves in scholarly studies.

This is the fourth consecutive year in which School of Arts and Sciences student has won the prize—one of the most competitive in the humanities. Andrews' research involves a topographical study of the Subura in Rome.
