oard of advisorsWhat does one say about the incredibleleadership that has been shown by KimRorschach over these past eight years?Oh yes, I’m sure if she had been only halfas good we would have thought we weredoing fine. It’s that second half that madeit extraordinary.From the opening of the museum to thewelcoming of the campus community,Kim’s leadership has been exemplary.Let’s not forget that the museum hasbrought more citizenry from Durham tothe campus than ever before. We knewthe day was coming when Kim wouldtake the next step in her illustrious careerand, of course, it’s always too soon.We wish for her a duplication of all thesuccesses at Duke at the Seattle ArtMuseum. They are a fortunate communityto have her leadership.Again, this year was another incredibleone at the Nasher Museum withAlexander Calder alone drawing morethan 40,000 visitors. We continue todevelop our collection and since ouropening in 2005 we have grown theAfrican-American collection to nearthe top of all university museums inthe country. Also, it’s a great time tocelebrate this fall’s presentation of thecollection of our esteemed Board ofAdvisors member Jason Rubell.I thank each and every one of you forall you do and continue to do for themuseum.
