The Medical School Class of 2027 was officially welcomed to the Health Sciences Library on Wednesday, August 2nd. Every hour a new College of students arrived to receive a virtual tour of the library, be fitted for their white coats by the Medical Alumni Association and learn about some artifacts from Historical Collections hosted by our new curator, Meggan Cashwell. Refreshments were also provided.
It was a team effort, coordinated by our Medical Education Librarian, Karen Knight. Karen was pleased that the new class is so friendly and engaging. She looks forward to helping them with their information and research needs throughout their time at UVA.
The flyer for the Open House reads, "You're invited to the Library and Friends' Open House on Sept 5, 11AM-1PM. Snacks! Raffles! Student groups! at.virginia.edu/ndy9Dh
The Health Sciences Library is excited to announce an Open House event which will take place on Tuesday, September 5th, from 11:00 AM- 1:00 PM!
The Library has invited several student and student services groups (our Friends-and yours!) to attend as exhibitors and the list (see below) will be updated as groups accept the invitation:
Light refreshments will be provided, along with a Library scavenger hunt, and some of the Friends will have giveaways and raffles.
We hope that you'll drop by to learn more about the Health Sciences Library and the various groups and services that are available to you as members of UVA Health.
