Ortlip Gallery Director & University Art Collection Manager

I have chosen to work at Houghton University because of the brilliant colleagues and students we have here. The caliber of intelligence, creativity, authenticity and work-ethic is unrivaled elsewhere. I also am a 4th-generation Houghtonite so my love for the Genesee Valley and it’s wooded hills, stony creeks, abundant space, and rich history runs deep. For me, a commitment to Place is one of the pillars of a meaningful life and that Place for my family is Houghton.
