Good afternoon colleagues, All this week we featured testimonials from SEI graduates. In our last installment, we feature Nicole Finzer, one of this year's fabulous SEI instructors <http://seiworkshop.org/curriculum/instructors-2/>. Nicole attended SEI in 2005 and is currently the Visual Resources Librarian at Northwestern University. Here's what Nicole has to say about her SEI experience: *"I attended SEI as a student in 2005 and ten years later I am an instructor. I think that speaks volumes about the program. Back then Digital Preservation was not part of the curriculum. Today it is the foundation of so much of what we do. I have thoroughly enjoyed being involved with the evolution of our field and look forward to sharing my experiences with students."* *Who do you know that might enjoy SEI 2015? Help us spread the word about SEI by forwarding this email to a colleague that would benefit from attending this year’s workshop.* In its twelfth year as a joint program between the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF), the Summer Educational Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management is an intensive workshop featuring a continually updated curriculum that specifically addresses the requirements of today's information professional.
