The Libraries’ End of Semester Holiday Feast is just around the corner!

The traditional End of Semester gathering is scheduled for Thursday, December 8. Food will be served on a drop-in basis from 11 am to 2 pm. As per usual, we will provide some basic food stuffs, but everyone is encouraged to break out holiday aprons and bring a dish or two for others to sample. Some time in the near future, we will post sign-up sheets for volunteer food preparers and clean up crews, as well as tasty treats. Mark your calendars!

Ariel Romero Presents “Welcome to America” Honors Thesis
Graphic design intern Ariel Romero’s honors thesis takes a look at the lives of undocumented students at the University of Arkansas and brings awareness to the issues they face. It consists of eight broadsides that address the duality of American views on immigration, confronting some of the most common stereotypes of undocumented immigrants. In addition to this poster series, there is a companion accordion fold available at the front desk. This artifact is made up of a collection of stories from undocumented students at the U of A describing their experience in coming to America and their dreams for the future. It is currently hanging in Gearhart Hall, where it will remain until the end of Spring 2017.
