SLC Library News - Jan 2023

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.
