Marilyn Moore is the assistant to the Director of the Main Art Gallery at Cal State Fullerton, a position she has held since 1982. She holds a B.A. in art (with a minor in English) and has done graduate work both in Asian Art History and in Art Therapy. At Cal State Fullerton she is a member of a standing committee to coordinate publicity for the College of the Arts.
Assisting the Gallery Director Mike McGee with the myriad tasks that culminate in museum quality exhibitions both in the Main Art Gallery and the galleries at Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, is the equivalent to functioning as "air traffic controller" for this complex operation. One person must be the holder-of-the-deadlines, the calm in the midst of a vortex of activities, the central receiver and dispenser of information needed by all participants: graduate students in the exhibition design/museum studies program, artists, art collectors, gallery owners and directors, museum staff, shippers, printers, designers, editors, accountants, insurance agents, gallery volunteers, art writers, publicists, and gallery visitors from both on and off campus. Because the challenges of each exhibition are unique, life in this busy environment remains interesting and the opening of each new exhibition is an immensely satisfying experience.

As graduate secretary my job is to help you through the required paperwork for the university, the Art Department Comprehensive Portfolio review, setting up your graduate committee, study plan, and finally scheduling your graduate exhibition. Working with graduate students and potential graduate students gives me an opportunity to meet and know many wonderful and interesting people. Officially the mother of three, if you come to CSUF plan on having a "mother-on-campus" to come to when you need help or have questions and to congratulate you on your successes.

As Visual Resources Specialist since 1984, with degrees in Library and Information Science and Art History, Winters administers the department's art image collection and serves as the Visual Arts Department Webmaster. The scope of the image collection is a 95,000 art and architecture slide collection including western and non-western art from the prehistoric era to contemporary art in all mediums. Winters provides reference service to the art studio and art history faculty and students who are the most common users of the instructional image collection. Faculty and students from anthropology, history, liberal studies, foreign languages, and American studies have also used the collection. As new technologies transform teaching methods at CSUF, Winters facilitates this transformation, by cataloging new images into a searchable database and by developing study Web pages by working in consultation with art history faculty.
A member of the National Visual Resources Association and Merlot (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching), Winters keeps active in the field so that she can advise the department on current issues in copyright, digital instruction including learning objects, and digital image storage and retrieval. With her eyes focused on reusability she serves as a member of a system-wide workgroup that is developing shared image resources for the California State University. She is also working on a grant funded by the National Science Foundation with biology and chemistry faculty to develop a science instruction image collection for K-6 science teacher preparation.
Winters is an art history lecturer and teaches two courses, the history of printmaking and the history of women artists. She has lectured and published in contemporary and historic art as well as in library science. In addition, she coordinates the W. Keith and Janet Kellogg Art Gallery Website at California State Polytechnic University Pomona as a community service.
