Student Appreciation Days (Fredd Campus)

Every year, in the fall, we hold Student Appreciation Days at the Fredd campus. It is our way of thanking the students for coming into the library. It also brings in students that have not been in the library, previously.Because the Fredd campus houses our technical programs, a lot of students are not aware of the books and materials that may help them in their programs of study. Instructors may also request book and/or audiovisual material that would benefit their students.

This year the book that students will receive is From the Heart:Seven Rules To Live By written by ABC anchorwoman Robin Roberts. She has words of wisdom that can be applied to everyone's life. In addition to receiving the book, students will also receive a stress ball, small backpack, a calculator and a pencil.

Student Appreciation Days will be held on October 27-28,2008 from 9:30-1:30. We hope to see you there!
