Collaboration on Library grant

Lindsay Harmon, Academy librarian and ardent supporter of student research projects of all kinds, has found an available grant that would benefit the students at the Academy and potentially add some updated books to our library collection. As a member of the library advisory committee, I'm going to have the opportunity to participate in the grant writing process, and will get to help out with the research involved to make a strong case for the Academy to be awarded with the grant money.

If successful, the grant will provide funds for a series of expert speakers to address the students on various issues, and will allow us to purchase complimentary materials for the library collection.

Wish us luck!
