Public History PhD Student Melissa Barthelemy has been awarded the Margaret T. Getman and William J. Villa Service to Students Award, for the exhibit that she curated, “We Remember Them: Acts of Love and Compassion in Isla Vista,” an exhibition honoring the acts of love and compassion that emerged in Isla Vista and on the UC Santa Barbara campus after the May 23, 2014 shootings.

In honor of the former UCSB Dean of Student Residents, Margaret T. Getman, this annual award recognizes university staff, faculty, and departments that have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the general growth and development of students and the quality of student life.
