I’m very sorry to inform of the passing of Dr. Maria Chavez-Hernandez, associate professor at the FSU College of Information. For those of you who may not have known, Maria had a long fight with cancer. Dr. Chavez-Hernandez was an active champion of library services and LIS education for minorities, and in January was honored by the Florida Library Association with the "Libraries Change Peoples' Lives" award bearing her name.
Her family was with her and were able to say goodbye. She will surely be missed by many. In lieu of flowers the family request that memorial contributions may be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tallahassee.
