    • Tuesday, August 26, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM
    • For first year, transfer, and NEXT Steps students
    • Explore the library building and the millions of resources that it offers. You’ll get a treasure map to help you to find treasures at 4 special locations throughout the library building.  You’ll be entered for a drawing for a Messiah sweatshirt (of your choice!) and everyone will get some free treats and swag.  It’s an easy way to discover the library and meet the library staff.  Come on your own, or come with some friends.  The activity should take about 15 minutes to complete.

Photo and Video Release

Please be aware of the Photo & Video Release policy from the Student Handbook:

Messiah University may at times use photographs, audio and/or video recordings of employees and students for purposes of education, publicity and student recruitment on behalf of the university, via the Internet, print publications and other media. Should an employee or student (or the parents or guardians of such persons who are under the age 18) NOT want to be photographed or recorded, or have his/her name or “directory” information used in connection with any such recording, that person must notify the university in writing. Individuals who choose to opt-out are also responsible for removing themselves from areas in which photography and/or recording is taking place, or notifying the camera operator of their opt-out status. Failure to do so may result in that individual’s inclusion in a photograph or recording and will be treated as consent for the university to utilize that photograph or recording accordingly.
