All graduate students and faculty (and their respective spouses) the MAR and MED programs are invited to a gathering on Friday, November 11th at 6 PM in the Heritage Room of the Library. We'll be having pizza and fellowship, and also getting a few more tips on using the library, doing research, and whatever else might be of interest to you. You need to register - but it's SO SIMPLE! Just go to the Library home page at http://www.etbu.edu/library/ and in the far right column you'll see a calendar and list of Jarrett Library events. Click on the link that says "Grad Student LIFT Party" (LIFT = Library Instruction For Tigers) and you'll see a registration form there. If you are bringing your spouse please register him or her separately so we can get an accurate count. We hope to see you on November 11th!
