The Executive Committee of the New England chapter of ARLIS/NA is pleased to announce that Clara Scholtz is the winner of this year's Elmar W. Seibel Scholarship!

Clara is a Master of Library and Information Science student at Simmons University concentrating in Cultural Heritage Informatics. She is coming to her studies at Simmons with experience working in the Downtown Art Center (DAC) in Los Angeles as an instructor and assisting them in building an archive. She also worked as a gallery guide and attendant for the Dia Art Foundation. A practicing artist herself, Clara's overarching goal as a future art/cultural information professional is to assist in building accessible cultural history programs within memory institutions. 

Congrats, Clara!
