2026 Graduate Art Therapy Thesis Colloquium

On behalf of the Graduate Art Therapy Program at Notre Dame of Maryland University, I would like to extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 2026 Graduate Art Therapy Thesis Colloquium.

The thesis colloquium represents the culmination of students’ graduate research and creative scholarship. Throughout the day, students will present the findings of their thesis projects, demonstrating the integration of rigorous academic inquiry, clinical practice, and the expressive power of the arts. Your presence would be a meaningful encouragement to students and an opportunity to celebrate the innovative work emerging from this program.

We also invite you to remain with us for our Graduate Art Therapy Hooding Ceremony, which will begin at 3:30 p.m. This special celebration honors graduating students as they receive their Notre Dame of Maryland University master’s hoods. Students will also have the opportunity to don their graduation robes, caps, and decorated stoles for photographs with family, friends, faculty, and guests. Please join us in celebrating this important milestone.

Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues or community partners who may have an interest in the work of our students.

If you plan to attend, we would appreciate an RSVP at your convenience so that we may plan accordingly.  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ndmu-art-therapy-thesis-colloquium-tickets-1988432726813

We look forward to you joining us and celebrating the achievements of this exceptional graduating cohort.
