to the Campus Resource Fair! This event was a wonderful opportunity to connect with both new and returning students. We welcomed students to learn about Rudisill Library's services and invited them to spin the “Wheel of Fun” for a chance to win library-themed prizes. We also shared resources in recognition of Minority Mental Health Month, encouraging students to prioritize their mental health and wellness.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon for the start of the new school year!
