Tyler's commitment to his students and his dedication to the study of art history is summed up in his teaching statement: "By bringing passion and enthusiasm every day to my classroom, and by being genuinely invested in my students’ education and their unique interests, I lead by example and show my students the excitement and the value that art history provides in offering new or different perspectives with which to view and experience the world." The faculty of the Art History Department were gratified to see this passion in his creative syllabi and assignments and in the quality of the work done by his students. Congratulations, Tyler, on a job well done!
