Library Gig 'Em Event-Success!!

Wow, I am amazed at the turn out of undergraduate students at the library Gig 'Em week presentation! We had over 100 students attend, that's great for the first time the library has hosted a Gig 'Em week event.

Just want to say thanks to the organizers of Gig 'Em week and the Regents Scholars Program for helping make this a success.

Also, thanks to all the students who attended, we hope you will find the info helpful and pass it onto your friends! We can host more events like this if you want, just let me know!

Thanks! Christina
