>Department of Art & Art History.

>Amber Ruiz, who served as Interim Curator of VRC from June 2006, has been
>appointed Curator with the rank of Assistant Librarian. With a BA in Art
>History (SJSU) and an MLS (SJSU), Amber joined VRC as Assistant Curator in
>Sept. 2005. She was instrumental in helping us achieve the successful
>transfer of VRC to SUL/AIR this past summer and is tireless in her efforts
>on behalf of her constituency.
