The Department is pleased to welcome new graduate students Thadeus Dowad and Kristen Kido; Kathryn Stine, a new member of the department's Visual Resources Center staff; and Anneka Lenssen We are looking forward to a great year! 

Jason Hosford, one of our Digital Curators, has been elected Chair of the Northern California chapter of the Visual Resources Association.  The VRA is dedicated to furthering research and education in the field of image management especially within educational and cultural heritage environments.  Jason's election to chair our local chapter of the VRA after just a year in the profession is an honor for him and for our department.  Congratulations, Jason!
