For those who have relocated offices, please remember to update your directory information.
We’re planning our pre-fall MU Libraries All Staff Meeting for the morning of Tuesday, August 12th, from 10:00 to around 11:30 a.m. All libraries will be closed from 10:00 to noon so everyone can attend, just like our Celebration of Service in May. For this meeting, we’ll have a light breakfast—think coffee and bagels—and a hybrid option will be available for those who need it. I encourage you to join us in person if you can!
Chelsae Cordia, our Donor Relations Coordinator, has resigned from Mizzou and is moving back to Poplar Bluff so her son Ben can start middle school with his friends. Chelsae has accepted an exciting new position with Anheuser-Busch, and, while we’ll miss her greatly, we wish her all the best in this next chapter. Her warmth and dedication have made a lasting impact, and she leaves with our deepest appreciation.
Effective August 1st, Megan Ballengee, outreach and engagement librarian, will be joining the Teaching & Learning Department. Megan will continue her collaboration with Shannon as a member of the Marketing Team, and her office will remain in the administrative suite (Room 105). She’ll also work closely with Abbie and Jill to support instruction and programming for our first-year students at Mizzou, as well as contribute to general reference services.
There will be a planned power outage at Vet Med East and Vet Med West (where the library is) next Tuesday, July 29 from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. in preparation for the demolition of the current Vet Med Diagnostic Lab.
Due to this power outage, the library doors will not work, and therefore, the library will be closed. Additionally, if the power outage runs long, the library MAY have to delay opening that day.
–Jennifer Brady
The Geology Library will be closed July 21-26 due to a power outage in the building during that time.
