Celebration of Service, May 22
This is a reminder that the Libraries’ Celebration of Service will be held in the Grand Reading Room on Tuesday, May 22 from 11:30 am to 1 pm. A calendar appointment went out last week, but I wanted to make sure that everyone has the correct date.
Campus will also be holding employee recognition week next week, from May 21 – May 25. I hope you are all able to participate in the various activities.
