Announcement from Project MUSE
Melanie Schaffner, Director of Communication, Marketing, and Engagement at Project MUSE and friend to so many of you in our scholarly communication community passed away peacefully at her home on July 5, 2024. In her final days, she shared that she was grateful for the full life she led, both personally and in her 27 years of work and dedication to Project MUSE and Johns Hopkins University Press.

In her formal obituary, it was highlighted that “she would not want those left behind to experience sorrow, pain, and grief, but rather take joy in the life she lived and the memories they shared with her.” So let’s take a moment to remember and honor the adventures we took with Melanie, all that we learned from her, and what we cherish most about having had her in our lives.
UKSG sends condolences to Melanie's family and friends.
