The last Mudd Coffeehouse of Summer 2009 was held on Wednesday, August 26 at 10:00 a.m. in the Mudd Library. University Librarian Pete Gilbert talked about how Lawrentians are using Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
These are the links that made up the presentation.
The Mudd hosted a Canine Therapy Study Break on Tuesday, June 9. Eight dogs and several dozen students got together for a mutually-fulfilling hour of fun and dog treats. Photos of the event are available on the Library’s Flickr site.
Comments from the participants:
“The event was truly enjoyable for all. Thank you so much for making this happen!!”
“Thank you again for organizing the “canine therapy” today! Such a wonderful event– nothing like dogs to remind us not to take ourselves too seriously.”
“Woof! Woof!”
Stop by for some Canine Therapy! Friendly dogs will be outside the front doors of the Mudd on Tuesday, June 9, from 11:30am-12:30pm. Stop by, pet a dog, take a deep breath, and relax…
