L4HSU Continues with a full July schedule!
HRAPS has teamed up with the Library to create a summer filled with learning opportunities!
More than 300 staff, faculty, students, and community members attended our first three weeks of L4HSU events! As one of the participants said “Events like the Learning Lock-In enable folks from across the campus to come together and build community.” This is extremely important because it fosters an environment in which the entire campus can work towards supporting our students. Take time to work on your personal and professional communication and build community by attending an L4HSU workshop that is coming up in July, including:
- Data Democracy Series by Michael Le, every Friday at Noon in Library 114
