    Friday Focus: Helping our Nanook Nation to do its best work

    February 03, 2023

    As we enter the new year and a new academic semester, there are many things to feel optimistic about. It is a time for assessing how we did over the past year and for setting new goals for the coming year. Some targets we miss, and learn from - those are usually the ones that help us the most! Some things we achieve, and could be better at celebrating. However you approach it, turning the corner on a new year helps us put in perspective how far we have come. In Administrative Services, we are excited to hit the ground running in 2023 and we're already thinking about ways to celebrate the achievements yet to come.

    Academic Tuesdays: Jan. 31, 2023

    January 31, 2023

Are we an information gatekeeper? Are we all about books? Anyone using libraries lately knows that we are currently all of those things, and more; we are the heart of any community engaged in the pursuit of knowledge.

    Friday Focus: Leading with the information we have

    January 27, 2023

    Retired Army Maj. Gen. General Mark Hamilton was the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ president from 1998-2010. For those who know him, you know that he is a wonderfully gifted storyteller. As president, he lifted many up with stories he shared to which all could relate to their own lives in one way or another. It created a sense of belonging for many. Many of his stories were about leadership. One of my favorite stories he told at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ was his great Americans story. At least that is what I call it. I paraphrase it here with plenty of literary liberties taken.
