Paula Roper is the elected chair of the Black History Month Planning Committee for 2016. Charlie Nilon, Professor, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, is co-chair. Already generating significant program ideas for February, Rachel Brekhus has agreed to serve on the committee. Paula would like the coming Black History Month to be one in which the library plays a most strategic and integral role and looks forward to your advice, assistance, cooperation and participation in making this a reality.
