We invite you to take part as one of our Freedom Educators by making an anti-human trafficking sign and lining the streets to educate our community. Your voice matters—join us in raising awareness and becoming an activist!

The day begins at 9 a.m. with the pouring of red sand in the creases of the sidewalks lining Maple St. as part of the Red Sand Project, symbolizing the hidden cracks, where victims of human trafficking fall. Enjoy food, beverages, and community partner tables at the Cecchini Center, before listening to the keynote speakers at 10 a.m., who will discuss the digital dangers of human trafficking.

The Brother Edmond Drouin Library employs over a dozen student workers as Library Assistants who help us extend the reach of our services. While it may look like they are just hanging around the library smiling and having fun (which we hope they are!), they are helping us coordinate access to our resources whether it is lending out bones, checking out study rooms, or assisting us with one of our many projects! These students play a key role in the library, and we would like you to get to know them.

Where are you from?
Twinsburg, Ohio

What are you studying?
Exercise Science, Pre-Occupational Therapy 3 + 2 Early Assurance Accelerated Track 

What activities are you involved in?

Anything else?
Also, I am in Walsh's Honors Program and a Walsh University Student Alumni Ambassador. And then work two jobs (one being the library) and the other at Dunkin'! Love reading, volunteering, and going outside for fun. 

Have you ever used any of the library databases? 
Yes, many Honors students (me included) use Academic Search Complete (through the online library) for scholarly research articles to use in papers, our JHP, and our thesis. I just had one of my friends come into the library today (she was at circulation for a couple minutes at the end of my shift) because she wanted to ask me where she could find research articles for a nursing paper. I directed her to ASC, and she said it helped a lot! 

Why do you like working in the library? 
I love interacting with Walsh staff and students, you really get to know who comes in/through the library!

Our library offers access to Academic Search Complete, a full-text multidisciplinary research database containing more than 5,700 leading global journals and magazines, many of which are peer-reviewed. The database also offers a collection of more than 75,000 videos from the Associated Press, providing a variety of valuable resources to help you excel at research in and out of the classroom.  

Academic Search Complete provides access to a wide range of academic disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, engineering, and more. This makes it suitable for interdisciplinary studies and a great place for students to start their research.  

To access Academic Search Complete, please visit the library’s A–Z Database List on our library homepage (https://library.walsh.edu). For questions about accessing using or accessing Academic Search Complete please contact the library at library@walsh.libanswers.com.
