Stay at Home Challenge #2: Go for a Walk
Shannon Cary
Stay at Home Challenge #3
Isn’t it interesting how hearing a particular song can bring back a special memory or make you feel happy or calm or pumped up? It doesn’t matter what genre, style, language or type – music has a huge impact on our health! Research shows listening to music makes you happier, reduces stress, enhances exercise, helps you sleep better, reduces depression, strengthens learning and memory as well many other benefits.
Challenge: What’s your “go to” sing these days? What’s #1 on your iTunes or Spotify playlist? Tell us the song that’s currently playing on the soundtrack to your life these days.
Bonus Challenge: If there’s a particular song you play on an instrument, make a short video!
Send your songs to carysn@missouri.edu.

Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Undergraduate Research Contest Award Winners
The University Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest seeks to recognize and reward outstanding research conducted by undergraduate students at the University of Missouri.
This year the winner of the first place prize of a $500 scholarship is Abby West, a junior studying political science. Her paper, “Saratoga Spells British Defeat,” was written for Dr. Al Zuercher Reichardt’s constitutional democracy course. Reichart stated about Abby’s paper, “Really happy to hear she submitted it to the contest! She’s a fantastic student.”
The second place winner and recipient of a $250 scholarship is Devon Terry, a sophomore in anthropology and psychology. Her paper, “Arno Breker’s Wounded Man: Capturing the Essence of Totalitarianism,” was written for an upper-level German class taught by Dr. Seth Howes and Dr. Nicole Monnier. Dr. Howes said, “My co-professor and I both thought it was an excellent paper, and excellent project, and I am thrilled to hear the committee’s in agreement with us on that front.”
Special thanks to the Friends of the University of Missouri Libraries for their support of this award.

Stay at Home Challenge #2
Challenge #2
Working without a break can be hard on the brain and the eyes! Working from home also means less walking to/from meetings at our offices and on campus. Get outside for a family walk, dog walk, a simple stroll through your neighborhood – or even just enjoy your outdoor space right at home.
Challenge: Take a photo while on a walk or in your outdoor space and email it to carysn@missouri. Bonus points if you caption your photo with a song title using the word “walk”!
