Please accept an invitation from Sandra Yee, dean of the Wayne State University Library System and Mathew Ouellett, associate provost and director of the Office for Teaching and Learning, to visit the newly renovated 4th floor classroom space at State Hall on April 10 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and April 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.. The new space is designed to enhance interactive learning and will be assigned to faculty that wish to take advantage of the new technology and classroom layouts. The improved space includes six general purpose classrooms and four seminar rooms of varying sizes and configurations. We encourage all faculty to visit to check out all the new classroom features that are available to assist them in their teaching.

A few photos from some of the new spaces, including a photo from instructor Karen Myhr, who has done some pilot teaching with her students in the new space:

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Wayne State University Library System has created a display called “Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.” The exhibit includes photos and information from the Reuther collection and highlights the history of women in the sciences at Wayne State University, Detroit and beyond. The exhibit also illustrates the rise of women in engineering over the last 50 years, specifically at Wayne State.

“Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics” will be on display in the UGL atrium throughout the month of March. Come by and check it out!

Roving librarians are out and about on the second floor of the UGL to help you find articles, answer reference questions and assist in other research needs. What is a roving librarian? A roving librarian is a librarian that gets out from behind the desk and experiences his or her patrons, library and community by bringing their services directly to you. They’re here to help so just flag them down if you need a hand in your studies!
