Julie Hunter, Librarian for First Year Student Success, is here to tell us about many of the opportunities that are available to you now that WCSU is online for the rest of the semester. Here, too, are helpful links to let you find them: https://www.wcsu.edu/pcaap/virtual-student-resources/ and http://libguides.wcsu.e...
