The Libraries + You = A great collaboration!
Collaborating on events and activities to support the work of our students is a key part of the University Libraries mission. We wish to thank and acknowledge our incredible campus and community co-sponsors and partners for standing alongside the libraries and helping make our events, programs, and shared experiences possible. Your partnership, enthusiasm, and commitment to student success are what help transform library events into meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, celebrate, and grow.
