I want to recognize the staff of Lied Library for being incredibly brave, willing to step up to help, and providing a comfortable and safe space for the entire campus to be in in the immediate weeks following Dec. 6. When all the other buildings on campus were closed and other staff were able to work remotely, the staff at Lied were in the building in person, with snack bags, and provided space for other departments and offices to work and meet with students. Specifically Admissions, Financial Aid, Registrar and Academic Advising were given a room to work with students and all the while the library staff were hospitable, friendly, and going above and beyond what they should have been required to do. I will always be thankful for them.
