ACCESS UPDATES: NEW PRODUCTSChronicle of Higher Education Nature Archives Back to 1869 American Periodicals Series Online PEOPLEIn Memoriam: Debra KentHSL staff and friends mourn the passing of our friend and colleague Debra Kent, who succumbed December 21, 2007, to the ovarian cancer she had battled for almost two years. A Celebration of Life service for Debra will take place on Sunday, Jan 20 at 4 p.m. at the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (directions). Debra joined the staff at the Library in June 2005 as Director of Development and Communications. She brought a wealth of experience raising funds in the nonprofit sector, including being a pioneer fundraiser for HIV/AIDS in the San Francisco area. She quickly adopted the Library as her new passion, and reinvigorated all of us with the energy and vitality she brought to her job. A full tribute is on the HSL website. Those wishing to make a gift to HSL in Debra's memory may choose Honor with Books or make a general gift to the Friends of the Health Sciences Library in her name.
