Support & Solidarity for SMCM Students: Information & Resources

Support & Solidarity for SMCM Students: Information and Resources
http://libguides.smcm.edu/support-and-solidarity

Inspired by the Amherst College Library’s Amherst Uprising Information and Sources site, SMCM now has a Support and Solidarity mini-website where we can share:

  • all statements of support from departments, staff units, and student organizations on campus
  • resources on self-care and support for students
  • diversity, inclusion and anti-bias initiatives on campus, and how we can all get involved
  • resources for learning more about diversity, inclusion, and openness
  • and an anonymous form to suggest additional resources, organizations, and tools.

This is still a work in progress and will continue to evolve.

New Quiet Study Space

by

The second floor overlooking the river is now an official “Quiet Study Space.”

This change is in response to student feedback on the survey and in focus groups.

Through these methods, we learned that many students come to the library specifically for quiet study spaces. Responses identified the area overlooking the river (officially called the Reeves-Garner Reading Room) as the preferred place to create our first official quiet study space.

The first floor, third floor bean bag room, and group study rooms are still available for group work and other forms of “unquiet” study.

If you have questions about the new quiet study area, please contact Kate Pitcher, Director of the Library, Archives and Media Center.

Author Ram Devineni, co-creator of the graphic novel Priya’s Shakti, will be speaking about the work on Tuesday, April 12 at 4:30 in Cole Cinema.

Priya’s Shakti is about a mortal woman and a goddess who fight gender-based sexual violence in India and around the world.

The college recently purchased panels of the comic which have been indefinitely installed on the second floor of the Library along the long wall with the window seat across from the last row of Stacks shelves.

Additionally, the comic is an open publication, available to read on the web and downloadable to a number of e-readers.
