Library Haiku contest winners
Students in Dr. Catherine Allgor's History 001: The Historian as Detective: The History and Mystery of Race in America, a sequence of the unique freshman, year-long program CHASS CONNECT, received several library instruction sessions as preparation for writing a paper on Japanese internment in the United States. As a fitting culminating experience, they were asked to write a haiku, a form of Japanese poetry, about the library and/or research process. As a further incentive, prizes totalling $125, generously donated by the University Librarian, Dr. Ruth Jackson, were awarded to the "best of the best" submissions. Here are the winners:
