Longtime Vietnam Center and Archive staff member Victoria Lovelady has accepted an exciting new job opportunity with Covenant Health Systems here in Lubbock begining in February.  Victoria started with the Archive in 2001 as a temp worker digitizing documents for the Virtual Vietnam Archive.  She was soon hired on full-time as an Archival Specialist.  Eventually she was placed in charge of our microfilm digitzation project, which she oversaw for a number of years.  Since 2008, Victoria has been the Communications Coordinator for the Vietnam Center and Archive, where she produced all of the Center and Archive’s print material, including a redesigned brochure and folder, numerous items for our 20th Anniversary Celebration, and a redesigned Friends of the Vietnam Center Newsletter, for which she won the Association for Women in Communications (AWC) 2009 National Clarion Award for Most Improved Newsletter (Print).

Victoria will be joining Covenant Health Systems as their new Internet Marketing Coordinator.  For the past nine years she has been an invaluable member of the Vietnam Center and Archive staff and will be greatly missed.  We wish her the best of luck in her new job!
