My Library Story with Coach Greg Gattuso
Check out the most recent My Library Story featured in our most recent newsletter!
"Dr. Downing, our academic coordinator, could never find me and it was driving him crazy. I literally had escape routes everywhere, and my grades reflected it. They were not very good! Then one day I got caught by the head football coach and was told by him, in no uncertain terms, if my grades don't go up then I’m gone. That’s when I started to learn to use the library properly and started listening to Dr. Downing ... I wasn’t a great student coming out of high school and early in college, but that really turned me around. I started learning how libraries function, like I figured out how to find a book. Back then it was hard, or at least it wasn't easy. You know, it was files of 3x5 cards in drawers. It was a different kind of place, but that’s where I came to grips with libraries being important and good study places. And my grades went up! It's pretty amazing how that works." -Coach Greg Gattuso

Kickoff the new semester with this special edition of the University Libraries' Newsletter (Summer 2023).
A message from Interim Libraries Dean, Carey Hatch:
"It's an exciting time on campus. On Saturday, the University Libraries welcomed new students at Casey Stadium during Great Danetopia. On Monday, we opened our doors for the first day of the fall semester, the start of what is one of our busiest weeks of the year. This weekend, we return to Casey Stadium to watch the Great Danes begin the football season against Fordham."
