The CMA says goodbye to Cindy Connor,
curatorial registrar, and wishes her the
best in retirement. A quote from her longtime colleague, Noelle Rice, mirrors our
gratitude:
“I’ve never worked in this curatorial
department without working with Cindy. I
have learned so much about the museum
business from her that I put into practice
each and every working day. There is
no doubt in my mind that the Columbia
Museum of Art would not be the institution
that it is today without the unseen
guidance of Cindy for the last 25 years.”
