December 2024
 
Dear Colleagues,
I hope that Thanksgiving Break was restful for you all as we begin the sprint to Winter Break. Best of luck with final exams, papers, recitals, concerts, and presentations!
This semester has been chock-full of great activities on campus with many colloquia and academic lectures, plays and dance performances, and athletics victories (and educational defeats). Thanks again for all that you do in the classroom and beyond to support our students holistically.
Warmly,
 
Upcoming Endowed Professorship Lecture
 
 
 
Thank you Professor Mazilu for the symposium lecture on the Nobel Peace Prize
 
 
Science Advisory Board met on November 8th
 
The 2024 Science Advisory Board met on November 8th. We welcomed alumni board members from across the country while a handful zoomed in from other states. A full day of presentations and productive discussions was enjoyed by all. STEM students benefited from their sage wisdom and career advice.
 
 
Upcoming Events
 
 
 
Special Collections temporarily closed from Mid-April to September 2025
The University Library is excited to announce that the Special Collections and Archives reading room and staff working spaces will be renovated in 2025. Faculty should be advised that Special Collections and Archives will be closed for renovation from approximately mid-April to early September 2025. If you are teaching a spring term course or are doing summer research that involves access to collections held in Special Collections and Archives, please contact Kim Sims (ksims@wlu.edu) for a consultation as soon as possible.
