Women’s History Month Display Know Your Student Worker

New signage went up in the library outside the direc-

tor’s office. Now anyone who enters the library can readily

familiarize themselves with the college’s philosophy, includ-

ing its campus statement, mission statement, vision statement,

and core values. And it serves as a reminder to the campus

community as a whole what Stevens College is about.

Tommy is in his first year of the Architec-

tural Technology program at Stevens. Although he is

currently a commuter, next year he is planning to

live on campus.

Tommy graduated from McCaskey High

School in Lancaster; his interest in architecture was

sparked when he took a CAD class in high school.

He also played tennis for four years at McCaskey

and loved it. In middle school, he was a member of

the track team.

Tommy has two brothers and two sisters, all

of whom are younger than he is; his brother, Bran-

don, is in the Architectural Technology program at

Stevens, too.

When Tommy’s not studying, he likes to

read, play video games, and hang out with his

friends.

Focus on the Archives

When everyone on the library staff

except Director Sharon McIlhenney decided

to take off work the week of spring break, the

student workers stepped up to keep the library

running smoothly. One of their special pro-

jects during the week was to sort through ma-

terials in the Archives and to organize the

rooms where these materials have been stored.

The organizational process has been ongoing

the past several years; bookshelves were ac-

quired from the warehouse and shelving was

recently bought to accommodate items. Now,

thanks to the student workers’ efforts, signifi-

cant progress has been made in this project.

Student workers Ryan Hale, DeSean Curry, and Travis Majors pose in

the archives with some artifacts found during spring break project:

bottles of sparkling cider from the college’s 200th Anniversary in 2005.

scifi/fantasy.

It works by choosing films that are highly rat-

ed by both viewers and critics yet didn’t make a huge

splash at the box office. Then the website’s independ-

ent staff handpicks titles for your viewing pleasure.

Creating an account allows you to dismiss

movie suggestions, save favorites, or rate what you’ve

seen.

A helpful feature of the site is that once

your choice is made, it will reroute you to

the most convenient on-demand provider

such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon. Alt-

hough, it’s worth noting that if you don’t

want to pay for your movie, you can find

many titles at your public library. Addition-

ally, the Learning Resources Center has

over 1,550 DVDs in its collection so

there is a very good possibility you may

find your next movie right here on cam-

pus.

The website, A Good Movie to Watch, wants

to help its users who are looking for a good movie to

watch but don’t have a specific title in mind. How

much time have you spent scrolling through the end-

less possibilities of your on-line provider? This web-

site’s mission is to save you time and effort while

spotlighting amazing films that you may have missed

but deserve your consideration.

One option for choosing your next

film is by mood. Are you in the mood for

something twisted? Then recommendations

include Let the Right One In (2008) and I

Saw the Devil (2010). Choose romantic as

your mood and your options include The

Spectacular Now (2013), Enough Said

(2013), and About Time (2013).

As an alternative to determining

your movie by mood, you can pick by

genre: action, comedy, documentary, dra-

ma, family, horror, mystery, romance and

Kenneth W. Schuler Learning Resources Center

Our goal is to help you find the in-

formation you need at a time and

place that's convenient for you. Our

promise is to help you understand

when information is needed, recog-

nize where it is, and master meth-

ods to retrieve it.
