Talima Aaron, President of the Board of Trustees at the John W. Jones Museum, was on hand to witness the removal of the sculpture at the former Green Pastures Jazz Club.

It was a meaningful moment to have leadership present during the process, ensuring the history and significance of the piece are honored as it begins its next chapter at the museum.

On Thursday, May 21, the library's own Jessa Barton '24 was recognized during the annual Employee Recognition Breakfast:

"David Buchtel Memorial Award
Employees Recognized for Service and Dedication"

"This award was developed in honor of David Buchtel, who was a Housekeeper at Elmira College from 2013 to 2020. Buchtel was beloved by students. He knew most by name and showed interest in both their personal and academic lives. Buchtel passed unexpectedly in 2020, but his upbeat attitude, care in his duties, and impact on students will always be remembered through this annual award. This year, the award went to Jessa Barton ’24, Access Services Assistant & Collections Manager of art and related holdings." Photo taken by the Elmira College Office of Communication and Marketing.

Congratulations, Jessa! Our ray of sunshine!

Mrs. Greven met with archives collections manager Katy Galvin '83 to donate her sister Yvonne Bevilacqua '61's Elmira College class ring. Katy gave her a tour of the archive and shared our recent and upcoming projects with her. Mrs. Greven's son, Aaron Lindgren, serves as our Supervisor of Student Success at Elmira College.

Thank you, Mrs. Greven, for your generous donation!
