The Special Collections Research Center faculty and staff kicked off the academic
year with a successful open house and “Road Trip!” exhibit opening. More than
300 students came to the SCRC for free ice cream and giveaways and pinned their
hometowns on an interactive map set up for the exhibit. Faculty and staff from the SCRC and
UK Libraries participated in the event, talking with students, handing out
treats, and helping to start off the school year on a positive and welcoming
note. The “Road Trip!” exhibit will be open through September in the main lobby
of the SCRC.
Karyn Hinkle, Daniel Naas and Paula Hickner in the
Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library
welcomed fine arts students, faculty and staff with a Cookie Day.
Sarah Vaughn and Emily Bayma-Santos in the Education
Library participated in the College of Education’s annual education fair on
the lawn of the Taylor Education Building.
Faith Harders in the Hunter M. Adams Design Library was part
of the College of Design freshman orientation. One hundred twenty seven new
students saw a selection of books representing all aspects of design, including
architecture, interior design, historic preservation, construction, drawing,
fabrication, and product design. Students also saw materials from Special
Collections, including a book of Gustav Eiffel’s drawings for the Eiffel Tower
and Charles Garnier’s drawings for his Paris Opera House.
