Developing a sense of belonging and inclusiveness is a great way that we welcome students. We genuinely like the idea that we're somewhere - a place, both virtual and in person - where students can go and find something interesting, experience new understanding, and make connections with other people. We couldn't do it without our campus community, and we thank everyone who voted. To view more library events, you can look at these posts tagged under "library events."
