Women in Science
Women in Science - a new display at the Science Library highlighting award
winning women scientists from UGA and books featuring women scientists through time.
Included is Mary Creswell, the first woman to graduate from the College of Agriculture,
who later became Dean of the College of Home Economics. Sundry instruments used in pursuit
of scientific research are also on display. Prepared by Jacquie Houston, Lora Bergstorm,
and Cynthia Prosser.
The Science Library has a large, glass enclosed display case on the second floor consisting of 3 sections 32" wide, 52" tall and 15" deep. It has numerous glass shelves that can be added or removed to accommodate display materials. A smaller display area is also available at the entrance. Materials for display may be given to the Display Coordinator for arrangement, including the incorporation of Library materials as appropriate. Alternatively you may mount the display yourself or with assistance.
