Founded in 2011, the Christine Huemer Lecture is dedicated to the memory of Christina Huemer, Drue Heinz Librarian Emerita, who served as a spirited leader of the Arthur & Janet C. Ross Library for fifteen years (1993–2007), retiring just a few years before her untimely death in 2010. Those touched by Huemer’s learning, creativity, and curiosity will remember her forever.
