    Join the Galvin Library Student Advisory Board

    The Paul V. Galvin Library is committed to enriching and enhancing the educational experience for students; to that end, the staff is establishing a Student Advisory Board. We would like your input on policies, services, collections and spaces, and welcome volunteers to serve. The board will be composed of 8–12 undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines who will meet a few times each semester to provide feedback and insight on library services, collections and spaces; help to identify trends in the student use of services and resources; participate in the development of surveys or focus groups; and assist in decision-making that will affect the student body.
