We're having an Open House!

Don't know what CAT stands for? Not sure what the Writing Centre does? Then join us this Thursday, September 30 from 1:00-3:00 for the very first Global Learning Commons Open House ! This will be a chance for members of the Saint Mary's community to find out more about the wide variety of services offered in the Atrium. Representatives from the Patrick Power Library, CAT, CAID, ITSS and the Writing Centre will be on hand to talk about the academic and administrative support we provide to students, faculty and staff. Coffee (and tea) and cake will be served! Hope to see you on Thursday. p.s. There's also a contest for you to enter: how many books in the Library? The closest guess wins a $50 Aramark gift card. Drop by for a ballot.
