FACULTY - COURSE
ASSIGNMENTS &
READING LISTS

It would be of great help to both
students and librarians to have
copies of current course
assignments and reading lists

obtaining the materials they
need. Thank you, Susan Ashcroft,
Librarian.

however, that her husband and children were very supportive while
she was back at school, though sometimes it was difficult. “We
didn’t do a whole lot of socializing last year.”

Thran says the sacrifice was worth it, though. “If it can help
