LIBRARY EVENTS FOR 2007/2008 SCHOOL YEAR:

Throughout the first semester

faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to create a page for a special time capsule book that reflects what it means to be an Ambrosian. The pages can include poems, essays, photographs, drawings, collage, or any other form of the person’s choosing. The pages will be collected and hand-bound into a book that will be put on display in the Library for awhile, and then kept in the Archives of the Library. This year, the 125th anniversary of the university and the inauguration of a new university president, is the perfect time to reflect on what it means to be an Ambrosian.
