Emily Dickinson to Join the Famous Faces Inside the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library
|
|
|
|
When the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library was built in 1959, St. Thomas was an all-male college. So, it's not surprising that the original stained glass window medallions depicted only male authors. But that's changing with a series of new faces. This weekend, the English Department is proud to reveal their latest addition, featuring Emily Dickinson. Join them to see the new stained glass medallion tomorrow, April 22, at 3 p.m. in the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library, Room 108.

St. Thomas to Maintain Face Coverings Through May 20
|
|
|
|
To keep our community as virus free as possible headed into finals and commencement ceremonies, we encourage everyone to continue to comply with our current face covering policy for the next four weeks, through the end of the spring semester. As you know, face coverings are currently required in classrooms and labs, on the campus shuttle and in the Center for Well-Being.
If we continue to experience relatively low numbers of COVID-19 cases on campus, we will drop the requirement when summer sessions begin on May 25. Thank you to everyone for being respectful of this policy and for keeping those face coverings on where required.
