Sue Lynn McDaniel and Nancy Marshall Honored
Thursday, April 10th, 2008
Sue Lynn McDaniel and Nancy Marshall were recently honored by a gift to the University Libraries for their research help on a new book, P.S. I Love You: the Story of the Singing Hilltoppers by University Distinguished Professor of History, Carlton Jackson. He is the author of many books including Forgotten Tragedy: The Sinking of HMT Rohna, Hattie: A Life of Hattie McDaniel, and Who Will Take Our Children: The Story of the British Evacuation, 1939-45. His latest book used many of the valuable primary resources available at the Kentucky Library and in the Reference Center.
Over Spring Break, Warren County grade school students took the opportunity to learn about three-dimensional art. Campers learned techniques for sculpting with clay, wire, foam, plastic, and paper. The children found inspiration in the new sculptures on the WKU campus and famous sculptors like Henry Moore, Dale Chihuly, and Elizabeth Berrien. Campers were encouraged to keep their artwork and display it at home.
