Welcome back! Here's what's happening in the library this semester.
Student Life Preservation Project
Your time at college is fleeting. Your legacy can be lasting. The archives invites current and recent students to submit photos, documents, diaries and videos of their life at the college to our new website, The Student Life Preservation Project. Already have something in mind? It takes just a few seconds to submit. Have any questions or want to submit a large number of items? Contact Archivist, Christina Kasman.
Events
All events are also posted in GryphonLink and in the Corq app!
Remember those book donations last semester? Well, now is the time to come and take what you like! (Current SLC Students ONLY.) During this event, candy will be provided to anyone who finds a book they’d like to take home.
