 TCD graduate students Jonathan Gregory and Mary Pattavina

Kudos to Mary Pattavina, who’s been awarded the 2009 CEHS Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant Award, and to Jonathan Gregory, recipient of the college’s 2009 Graduate Student Research Award.

Mary has been working with Dr. Young Ha and under her guidance has taught TXCD 312 Product Development II. Mary is currently preparing for her thesis exhibition, to open April 20 in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.

Jonathan Gregory is working toward his doctorate in Textile History/Quilt Studies under the mentorship of Dr. Patricia Crews. Jonathan was instrumental in helping her and Marin Hanson advance the first volume of the Getty-funded catalogue American Quilts in the Modern Age 1870 – 1940, recently published by the University of Nebraska Press (see below).

Congratulations to both of these hard working graduate students!
