Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration

University Libraries Diversity Fund

Last month, the UNCG University Libraries gathered to celebrate Gerald Holmes, Reference Librarian and Diversity Coordinator, for being named the American Library Association Achievement in Library Diversity Research Honoree for 2014.  The University is further honoring Gerald by establishing the University Libraries Diversity Fund.  This restricted fund will be used to help with the mentorship and professional development of our diversity librarian residents.  If you are interested in donating to the University Libraries Diversity Fund, you can donate online here or stop by the University Libraries Administration Office for a paper form.

Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness month and April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. Several sites and landmarks will "light it up blue" (including Niagara Falls, the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota, the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the roof of CenturyLink Field where the Seatlle Seahawks play) on April 2 in an attempt to increase awareness of autism. Below are links for information to help you increase your knowledge on autism:
