Relive the excitement of a book fair; find out how a counseling professor gets to do everything she loves; and more

When Shehrin Anjum came to IUP from Bangladesh to work on her master’s degree, she wasn’t sure she would find a welcoming place where she felt safe and cared for. It turned out IUP was more than she ever could have hoped for. Learn more about her in this video profile, A Second Home across the Globe.

As a professor in the Department of Counseling and Human Development, Brittany Pollard-Kosidowski loves every single thing about her job—the creativity required, the commitment to helping, and everything in between. Learn more about her in this week’s Meet Our Faculty feature.

Lava pens, lenticular bookmarks, scented highlighters, and of course shelves and shelves of books. Relive the excitement of a Scholastic Book Fair today and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Stabley Library, room 101. Also consider buying a book for a child in need through the Angels’ Wings program.
