FOCUS
Michelle Kimball has been a CVA student employee since the fall of 2007. From assisting with exhibition research to developing an art program for the homeless, Michelle has contributed a great deal to the CVA and has been recognized with a Student Involvement and Leadership Award from Metro State. Michelle is graduating this spring with a B.A. in Creative Entrepreneurship and Digital Media. Meet Michelle in this video.
Goodbye! The CVA says goodbye to long-term employee Jeremiah Archuleta ('09). Jeremiah became an essential part of the staff when he was hired as a student in 2008. His impeccable art handling, installation and customer service skills will truly be missed. As a talented photographer and art preparator Jeremiah has a bright future ahead of him!
