On Friday, March 23 W&M Libraries and the Provost’s Office are co-hosting a trip to Washington, D.C. The purpose is threefold: 1) to explore together innovations in academic work space design, 2) develop and strengthen relationships between faculty and librarians and other teaching/learning partners, and 3) explore opportunities and resources available through the W&M Washington Center. Participants in the day-long experience will constitute a focus group for discussions about the faculty hub (named "Studio for Teaching and Research") envisioned for the ground floor of Swem Library.
This opportunity is only open to William & Mary faculty, staff and administrators.
Register online. Seating is limited!
