CALENDAR OF EVENTS - 2023-2024
We aim to pair Outreach tasks with events happening on and around campus throughout the year so they are timely and relevant to library users. With that said, we will also remain flexible with content created - some tasks will build on other tasks with limited relation to campus events that month but serve the bigger priorities of the libraries.
