Competing for Fun and Funds: The 1st Annual ‘Wake the Library’ 5k
Erik Mitchell, Susan Smith, and Mary Beth Lock , Wake Forest University
This session will be a case study of the inaugural “Wake the Library” 5k held in the Fall of 2008 on the campus of Wake Forest University. The 5k was conceived earlier in the year as a means of fund raising for the semi-annual all-night study event in the Z. Smith Reynolds Library. As planning for the race progressed, it became apparent that the process was more complex than we anticipated but also more rewarding. This session will cover what we learned about librarians as race coordinators, what unexpected challenges and opportunities we found, how, (and who) to ask for support, and how events like this can promote the library to the wider community.

Stories of the World was a major UK cultural program for the 2012 Olympics that involved nearly 70 museums in exhibitions and events exploring the UK's connections with the world. It had the largest youth participation program ever for museums, involving over 22,000 young people as co-curators. The program aimed to change museums forever by having people from all backgrounds help curate collections. Evaluations found it significantly shifted museums' work with young people and had positive impacts, though some questioned whether the changes were fully embedded after the program ended given reduced resources. Lessons included that high-profile initiatives can prioritize change but it takes ongoing leadership, resources, and involvement of all staff to fully embed new approaches.

Jewish people immigrated to Scotland in the 1800s and early 1900s in small numbers but had a significant impact. They fled religious persecution and violence in parts of Europe and some intended to travel to America but stopped in Scotland first to earn money. Many settled in impoverished areas of Glasgow like the Gorbals where housing was cheap. Initially they worked in tailoring or as peddlers but later opened shops and businesses. Over time, some became middle class professionals. They established synagogues and schools to maintain their religious and cultural identity while facing some discrimination but less than other groups due to anti-Catholic views shielding them.
Canada
Canada has a long history dating back thousands of years to the arrival of indigenous peoples. It was formed in 1867 through the confederation of three British colonies. Canadian culture has been influenced by European, indigenous, and immigrant influences. Some cultural characteristics include shaking hands during introductions and the diversity of religions and ethnicities among Canadians. Popular festivals include the Celebration of Light fireworks in Vancouver and the Toronto International Film Festival. Iconic Canadian foods include poutine, bannock, and butter tarts. Popular places to visit include Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and Stanley Park in Vancouver. In conclusion, Canada ranks highly in areas like GDP and education and offers job opportunities but has a high cost of living

How to Write an Essay
An essay is a type of text that develops an idea or tells a story. It contains three main parts: an introduction, development, and conclusion. The introduction should catch the reader's attention and introduce the topic. The development is the longest part where the writer organizes their ideas in a logical order depending on the type of essay. For example, a story essay uses chronological order. The conclusion summarizes the main ideas in a short paragraph. Connectors help make the essay cohesive by linking ideas. The essay should use consistent tenses and avoid repetitive vocabulary. Writers are advised to plan before writing and proofread after.

Martin luther king's speech
Martin Luther King Jr. delivers his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He discusses the continued inequality and injustice faced by African Americans, despite the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery over 100 years prior. King envisions a future where people will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, and where children of all races can join hands as brothers and sisters. He dreams that one day freedom will ring across America for all people.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
