Dalkey Archive Press will move its publishing operations this summer from Champaign, Ill., to the School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Houston-Victoria in Victoria, Tex. On April 27, the publisher's board of directors voted unanimously to approve the decision.
Jeffrey Di Leo, dean of the UHV School of Arts & Sciences, said Dalkey Archive "will play a key role in academic programs, international initiatives and campus life at UHV. It will afford our students terrific internship and fellowship opportunities, and the press will be used in the growth and development of existing and new academic programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."
John O'Brien, founder and publisher of Dalkey Archive Press, called the UHV School of Arts & Sciences "a leader in creating publishing programs for students and will expand that to include this unique translation program. We expect that UHV will be a major force in international publishing and translation, accomplishing things that are possible only with a school that has a vision for the future and the flexibility to act quickly."
