A special congratulations to three awesome Eckles employees who graduated last weekend.

Bradley Moore, Shani Levin and Cali Shaw each worked for the Gelman Library System all four years of their time at GW.  We are extra proud of these three and know they will go far!

 Look out world!

Nathan Zapolsky!

Nathan submitted an excellent research paper titled, “Civil Disobedience and Cooperation in the African American Civil Rights Movement.” The pape and his application essay will be posted on our website soon so others can see his excellent uses of library resources.

Wondering who won this year’s Eckles Prize? Are you on the edge of your seat with excitement? Boy, we are!

There were 33 excellent submissions for the prize and the competition is fierce! The Eckles Staff read all of the submissions (pfew…there were a lot!) and narrowed them down to the top seven. Those seven are currently being judged by a panel of professors, librarians and a dean.

The winner will be announced tomorrow at 4pm at Eckles Library. Join us for some coffee, cake and this exciting announcement!

This is Travis.
Not only is he a great employee of Eckles Library, but he just landed a super-fantastic internship with the John McCain Exploratory Committee.

What made him stand out among the many applicants?
His winning smile?
His new-found ability to use a razor?
Nope.
His experience with research and ability to use Lexis-Nexis.

That is right! The skills Travis learned at Eckles have landed him a prime political internship, where he will meet important people and launch his incredibly successful career.
So I ask…
Can YOU use Lexis-Nexis?
