As first-generation students, Candice Benjes-Small, Head of Research, and Alexandra Flores, Instruction & Research Librarian, were interested in learning more about the experiences of W&M first-gen students. We read about a study of first-generation students by Duke University Libraries and thought a similar project at W&M could be beneficial. Alex serves on the advisory council of FGLI, the First-Generation Low-Income Student Support group on campus. She brought the idea to the council who enthusiastically endorsed it, and we were off!

Valentine-related stereoviews are rare. There are many series of views that depict love, courtship, and marriage.
We are delighted to share about the work of Kate Conley, Professor of French & Francophone Studies and Chancellor Professor of Modern Languages & Literatures, who recently co-edited "So You Want to be a Dean? Pathways to Deanship."
Dr. Stephen Sheehi (Sultan Qaboos bin Said Chair of Middle East Studies) co-authored with Lara Sheehi (George Washington University Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology) to publish "Psychoanalysis under occupation: practicing resistance in Palestine."
