What can the UA Libraries do for you?

The UA Libraries held a video contest during the spring semester to answer that question and to promote its offerings. 

When that first step is briskly taken onto the University of Arizona campus, we undoubtedly feel the air of excitement, a sense of independence and a desire to leave our own marks on the UA by getting involved, making new friends and discovering more about ourselves, our world and our passions. 

Felled mesquite beans – you see them most everywhere around the UA campus during the summer months.

The "I Dream in Widescreen: BFA Thesis Films" will return this year to the Fox Tucson Theatre, where UA student filmmakers will be in the run for thousands of dollars in prize month in a forthcoming film screening event.

UA student poetry contest winners have worked for the first time with graphic designers in the UA School of Art to produce broadsides, which will be on display at the UA Poetry Center.

The broadsides, which are designed to be presented as posters and historically were used for announcements in public spaces and in newspaper publications, will be presented during events slated to begin in May. 

Walking into the Kingian Nonviolence Training through the Nonviolence Legacy Project, I was rather unsure of what to expect. I had heard about the training through Advocates Coming Together (A.C.T.), a UA Residence Life group focused on social justice in its variety of forms. 

I decided to sign-up.

When I was younger, I was an avid reader. In particular, I especially took to poetry and spent many summer days memorizing line after line of Pablo Neruda, George Santayana, W. B. Yeats and others. I and would recite them aloud as I walked through the grassy fields of a nearby park.

The most common response you’ll get when you say the phrase “Harry Potter Alliance” is a giggle, followed shortly by an “Oh, you’re serious.”

Oh yes, we are.

In addition to their academic success, Arizona Assurance scholars have a broad range of skills: vocal performance, dancing and poetry being among them.
