Three New Exhibits in Pius Library

What does Valentine’s Day, the Chinese New Year, and the Nancy McNeir Ring Outstanding Faculty Award have in common? They all have exhibits in Pius Library!

For Valentine’s Day, library staff and students have put together an exhibit of the “Gods and Goddesses of Love.”

On the second floor of Pius is the Chinese New Year exhibit which includes original Chinese objects from the collection of Shu Jiao, Head of Access Services.

Learn about the Nancy McNeir Ring Outstanding Faculty Award from the exhibit on the main floor. Photographs of past winners are included. Any SLU student may nominate a full-time teacher. The faculty member must meet the following criteria: has spent at least 5 years as a full-time teacher at SLU; is an excellent teacher; and demonstrates a commitment to student welfare beyond the classroom.

Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit Honor Society, presents the Nancy McNeir Ring Outstanding Faculty Award annually. This is the oldest student initiated teaching award at SLU, given each year since 1966. The Award honors the memory of Miss Nancy M. Ring, SLU’s first Dean of Women.
