Joyce Huang, Library Director, retires

Today we reluctantly say farewell to Joyce Huang, Director of the University Library since 1995, and a member of the staff since 1985.

Joyce accomplished a great deal here, including creating the Bibliographic Instruction lab (most students have spent some time there for English 102, New Student Seminar, or other courses) and starting the Friends of the Library and the annual book sale. She and her husband, professor emeritus I-Ning Huang, participated in the host program for international students for many years. She has worked in many different capacities in the Library and also has served on numerous University committees such as the Chancellor’s Committee for Disability Concerns and the Faculty Senate. In 2006 she was honored as one of the Women in Leadership by the campus Women’s Issues Committee, and in 2008 she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chancellor’s Committee for her dedication to accessibility. She’ll be sorely missed…

There is a congratulatory celebration in her honor from 2-4pm (Apr. 30) on the Library’s 3rd floor. Faculty, staff, and students who wish to join us to thank her for all she’s done and wish her well are welcome to join us.
