Student Appreciation Week Success

Briscoe Library's 4th Annual Student Appreciation Week (October 26th - October 30th) was a great success! While this year's week was a little different to previous years, our semi-virtual activities were fun for all who participated. We would like to say thank you to Student Life and the SGA, who donated wonderful prizes for our Student Appreciation Week winners! And a special thanks to Samantha Yee and Larry Broome with the SGA for their work in collaborating with the library to plan Student Appreciation Week activities!

Please enjoy a few photos from our #whyImask and Briscoe Buddies Pet Therapy activities during Student Appreciation Week.
