I would like to invite you to the 2017 Undergraduate Visual Art & Design Showcase, which is set for Jan. 30-Feb. 3 in Jesse Hall. After a very successful inaugural showcase last year, the 2017 event is shaping up to be even better. I hope you will join us as we celebrate undergraduate excellence in art and design.
This is a venue for Mizzou undergraduate students to display and discuss their scholarly work in an exhibition setting. Student work will be on display and will feature a variety of artistic expression and applied design, including works of photography, graphic design, architectural design, theatre costume design, painting, textile and apparel management, digital storytelling, documentary, floral design and more. A four-person guest jury will award $10,000 in professional development funds to the most outstanding student work. All of the students’ work will be on display in Jesse Hall from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. throughout the showcase.
We are very excited about our keynote speaker, Sarah Leen. Sarah is a Mizzou alumna and the Director of Photography at National Geographic. She will deliver her keynote address at 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3 in Jesse Auditorium. In addition, there are a pair of panel discussions featuring renowned experts in the areas of art and design.
A schedule of events, which are all free open to the public, is below. I hope you take the opportunity to attend. Please pass this information on to your colleagues or others who would be interested in attending.

I work in a fast-paced office assisting Dr. Stannard with his administrative work. Much of that includes academic activities such as reviewing P&T packets, writing letters, and gathering articles for research. If it weren't for the help of the librarians in the Health Science Library, I would be in dire straits! They come to my rescue often! They are quick, upbeat, and always helpful. Recently, I needed publication metrics for a P&T review. Two of the librarians stopped what they were doing to help me and speed things along. They also took the time to explain what everything meant. I also appreciate their helpfulness in pulling articles for me when I am not able to access the articles myself. I have used the online request system and their online chat system quite easily and have always received excellent assistance. Don't hesitate to ask a friendly librarian!

MU Health Care's Patient Safety Team is responsible for the review of clinical care events in which the patient experienced harm from the care rendered. Review of current standards of care and matching them with care rendered is an important part of a comprehensive review. In the past, HSL resources have been an invaluable asset to help us with everything from basic reviews of the literature to more comprehensive and detailed literature reviews. Review of these cases in a timely manner is important. I have found the HSL resources as being highly dependable completing thorough reviews with a quick turnaround time. How awesome to have such amazing resources to help complement our clinical resources! Thank you, HSL and team, for helping us provide the safe care to our patients! Your efforts are truly appreciated but more importantly, I truly appreciate your partnership! Please keep up the great work!

The Black History Month Trivia FUNRaiser, which has become a tradition at Mizzou, caps the events of February. From 6 to 9 p.m. on February 28 in Ellis Library’s room 114A, teams will compete for prizes, which include donations to the charities of their choice.
You do not have to be a black history expert to enjoy the the evening's activities, which include comradery, friendly competition and refreshments, and you will definitely learn something! However, attending some of the events on the Black History Month Calendar will be an advantage since one category of questions is always developed relevant to these scheduled presentations.
The FUNRaiser’s coordinators cordially invite you to form a team of five to eight members. If you register your team by January 31, you can also suggest questions for the event. Follow the link http://libcal.missouri.edu/event/3091394 to register and see details specific to the FUNRaiser including which charities are eligible for consideration.
Please include the FUNRaiser on your calendar and we look forward to seeing you on February 28.
