Bzdak Travel Award for Study in Milan

Dorothea Lewis (BA, Art History 2008) was the recipient of the Bzdak Award in 2008. She traveled to Milan, Italy in September to conduct research on the church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, renovated and expanded by Renaissance architect Donato Bramante. During her month-long stay in the city, Dolly not only had the opportunity to study the church at first hand, but an unexpected encounter with some book and art loving Milanese transformed the trip into a valuable opportunity to get to know the city from an insider’s perspective.

This annual award was established by Drs. Michael J. Bzdak and Meredith Arms Bzdak to provide financial assistance to undergraduate students for the study and/or research of Art History in Milan, Italy. At present the Director of Corporate Contributions at Johnson and Johnson, Michael Bzdak earned his PhD in 2001 under the supervision of Professor Emerita Elizabeth MacLaughlin. Meredith Arms Bzdak earned her PhD in 1995 under the supervision of Professor Tod Marder; she currently is an architectural historian with Farewell Mills Gatsch Architects, LLC. The Bzdak travel award is intended to acquaint students with the rich early Christian and Renaissance art and architecture of Milan as well as the city as a contemporary capital of design, style and fashion. The department warmly thanks Michael and Meredith whose generosity has made this unique opportunity available to our undergraduates.
