Dear Students,

 

The Student Budget Committee (SBC) will be holding its final meeting on Monday, April 18th, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Please keep in mind that our budget is exceptionally limited as it is our last meeting of the year. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will be able to accommodate any large requests. Thank you for a fantastic year of amazing proposals; we’re glad to see so many student organizations flourishing here at Wes. Best of luck with the remainder of the semester!

 

Sincerely, The Student Budget Committee

Library Help

by

The end of the semester is at hand! How many research papers and projects are due in the next few weeks? Have you looked through the long list of indexes and databases the library subscribes to and haven’t found enough good books, articles, and other sources to use? Did you even know the library had so many tools for finding academic books, articles, etc.?

If you need help finding resources, librarians are available for personal research sessions to assist you in finding what you need in the library or on the Internet. Just visit us at http://www.wesleyan.edu/libr/services/personalresearch.html (or look for the link on the library’s home page at http://www.wesleyan.edu/libr), tell us what you are working on and when you can meet one of us, and we will make a list of appropriate resources and show you how to use them effectively.
