New Collaborations

• This Fall, we brought the 'Zine Social to the general membership meetings for the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAs) and the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMAs). Attendees discovered the 'Zine
  medium and were able to collage their own. Visit the Library Guide for more information. 
   
• We collaborated with the Writing Center so students could review essays and paper structure.
  Tutor Kevin Horton came to the library with a Pop-up Writing Center throughout November and December. 
  Follow the writing center for more events this spring.
