Northern Arizona University hosted a ceremony Wednesday evening to rename the campus art museum after the university’s 13th president, Clara Lovett. Accomplishments during her presidency include bringing a Pew Higher Education Roundtable to campus and restructuring the university’s mission and goals for the 21st century. After leaving NAU, Lovett became president and CEO of the American Association for Higher Education. The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum “emphasize[s] the diversity of voices, media, themes and creative impulses at work in today’s art,” according to its website. It “believe[s] in the centrality of artistic expression in all communities and cultures and the incalculable value of art as an educational experience.”
