Crews to retire as IQSCM director, will return to faculty post
The International Quilt Study Center and Museum's founding director, Patricia Cox Crews, has announced her intention to retire as director and return to a full-time faculty position at UNL in fall 2013.
"I have had an immensely satisfying run as IQSCM's first director," Crews said. "It has been a privilege to work with a multi-talented and hard-working staff and a dedicated group of volunteers. I take pride in IQSCM's significant collections, increased funding in support of exhibitions and programs and its progress toward achieving accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums during my tenure. However, I have always loved teaching and research and look forward to remaining a part of that." Read more about Crews in Today@UNL.

The Internet and Interactive Media group of University Communications and Information Services has concluded the first phase in its effort to provide full support to all devices - desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets - by implementing a suite of web technologies collectively known as 'responsive design.' This week, the internal and external homepages were re-launched as 'responsive' designs.
You can see the effects of responsive design in your desktop browser by simply re-sizing your browser window (the page will reformat as the window is narrowed), or by viewing on your tablet or smartphone.
