Garritson, who was in the first art master's degree class at 海角社区 and was the first woman hired by the art department, died in October. One of only two women among the original 12 art faculty (the only other woman was Ruth Horsting), she made her name among the impressive roster hired by the late Richard Nelson, who started the university's art department in 1959.
