Make-a-thon becomes tradition

On Dec. 1, the Maker Lab partnered with the the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association to host their second annual Make-a-thon, an event that adapts toys for children with disabilities. This year’s event included a website providing instructions on how to adapt the toys, allowing makers to select the toy they wanted to adapt and complete modifications at their own pace with step-by-step instructions.

Blog series authored by student employees

In conjunction with our recent online and in-house exhibit, “The book will be preaching after you and I have gone home”: Marshall Keeble’s Print Legacy, Special Collections and Archives student employees Sandrine Ingabire, Jeaniece Silas and Sarah Dillinger were tasked to research and write short notes as part of a blog series on the lives of some of the men Keeble mentored. Their work focused specifically on the “Fellow Workers” pictured in Biography and Sermons of Marshall Keeble, Evangelist.
