Congratulations to Valerie Lazalier (Art History, 2011) who just let us know that she has been accepted into the masters program in the History of Art at Indiana University. This fall, Valerie began the masters program in Library and Information Science, also at Indiana University, so she will be working towards degrees in both Library and Information Science and the History of Art.
In addition, Valerie was selected to work as a part-time registrar's assistant in the Registrar's Office of the Indiana University Art Museum.
