| Alumni Aid in Katrina Relief | |
Many of our alumni have had an important role in the restoration of artifacts and buildings damaged by Hurricane Katrina. With support from AASLH (The American Association for State and Local History) and FEMA, the following alumni were able to help as HEART (History Emergency Assistance Recovery Team) members. MJ Davis '94 (West Burke, VT) If you are interested in donating online to help in these efforts, please visit www.aaslh.org for more information. |

Alumni Giving Conservation Science Fund - Our newest initiative in the Art Conservation Department focuses on creating an endowment for Conservation Science. Currently, Dr. Gregory Smith’s position as the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Conservation Science is funded by a grant that will eventually expire; we need to create an endowment to make his position a permanent one. While we are hopeful that the foundations that have been so generous, such as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will continue their support, we are challenged to raise matching funds from other sources, namely our department friends and alumni. Please help us by giving to the Conservation Science Fund with a tax-deductible contribution. Just fill out the form below and mail it in! Thanks in advance for your support in maintaining the excellence of the Art Conservation Department. Conservation Donation Form (840K PDF file) |
