The latest: Beth Martell

I have found the summaries of leadership books Beth has put out by the circular desk on the first floor of Morris Library very helpful. I am preparing materials for an Honors student leadership retreat. Thank you, Beth, for these great resources summarized and thank you Morris Library staff for all that you do for this campus. We really appreciate all of you and your hard work!
