Demystifying The Library: Special Collections, Archives, Stress-Free Zone

91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ's University Libraries is the place for student success and research. It's a makerspace. It was recently voted "Best Place to Study" by the 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµr. It's a repository for journals, books and historical and rare materials. This might be the most traditional function provided by the library in this series so far, but it's anything but ordinary. Take the elevator up and into the past ... and then we pet dogs.

Jenny Lampe Early Education Classroom

Learning Through Play

Singing, dancing and yoga are not typical college classroom activities. At least not all in one class. But for Jenny Lampe, lecturer in 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ University’s Early Childhood Education Program, it’s important for her students to experience the full preschool education with all of these activities, plus expected activities like reading children’s books.
