“Professor Guile was one of the most influential professors I had during my time at 51. I was fortunate enough to take several classes with her. Even though I was not an art history major, Professor Guile reignited my passion for the arts—in particular, Western European architecture. Looking back at my 51 experience, I would definitely say the courses that I took with Professor Guile (and the academic advice she provided outside the classroom) helped shape my 51 journey.”
