  • GES Laura Bush Grant Recipient
    GREELEYVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NAMED AS A RECIPIENT OF A LIBRARY GRANT FROM THE LAURA BUSH FOUNDATION FOR AMERICA’S LIBRARIES Tuesday, May 18, 2021 Greeleyville Elementary School was one of 205 schools from 43 states across the country to receive a $5,000.00 grant through the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries. Mrs. Laura Bush joined Kelly Clarkson on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” to announce that the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries awarded more than $1 million in library grants this year. Inspired by the Laura Bush Foundation, H-E-B surprised 15 Texas-based Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries grant recipients with an additional gift totaling $100,000. Scholastic Books also provided the 34 teachers and educators in the virtual audience with money to purchase books for their schools and students. The grant recipients’ library collections are outdated, averaging approximately 20 years old. Many of the libraries will use the funds to update their collection, offer more dual language titles, and provide books focused on diversity and inclusivity. “There are many students who don’t have books at home, so having access to a library at school is essential,” Mrs. Bush said. “With the grants, school libraries across the nation can restock and update their collections providing opportunities for students for years to come.” “I was very excited when we received the notification of the Laura Bush Grant award because it will afford us the opportunity to expand our fiction collection and provide additional diverse books to reflect our student population and student interest.” Berlinda N.

  • Presidential Libraries
    Presidential Libraries presented by Jeri Diehl Cusack Our National Archives For the first 150 or so years, each U. S. government agency kept its own records – sometimes without much special care or organization – until the establishment of the National Archives. The National Archives & the position of National Archivist were created by Congressional statute in 1934… during FDR’s first term in office. National Archives & Records Administration (or “NARA”) Best known for housing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution & the Bill of Rights in its building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the National Archives is now “our nation’s official record keeper.” NARA includes a nationwide network of regional archives & records facilities. NARA has an Office of Presidential Libraries: http://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/ NARA Presidential Library Holdings 400 million pages 10 million photos 15 million feet of motion picture film 100,000 hours of audio/video tapes/discs 500,000+ museum objects History of Presidential Libraries In December of 1938, during his second term of office, FDR announced a plan to build a library to preserve his public papers. Some previous presidents had not taken such action; their papers had been lost, sold, scattered, damaged or even destroyed. FDR raised funds from private donors to fund building his project near his home in Hyde Park NY; later he donated the library to the U.S. Government via the National Archives.

  • Print Journalism's Framing of Female Candidates in The
    Joining the World of Journals Welcome to the nation’s first and, to our knowledge, only undergraduate research journal in communi- cations. We discovered this fact while perusing the Web site of the Council on Undergraduate Research, which lists and links to the 60 or so undergraduate research journals nationwide (http://www.cur.org/ugjournal. html). Some of these journals focus on a discipline (e.g., Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics), some are university-based and multidisciplinary (e.g., MIT Undergraduate Research Journal), and some are university-based and disciplinary (e.g., Furman University Electronic Journal in Undergraduate Mathematics). The Elon Journal is the first to focus on undergraduate research in journalism, media and communi- cations. The School of Communications at Elon University is the creator and publisher of the online journal. The second issue was published in Fall 2010 under the editorship of Dr. Byung Lee, associate professor in the School of Communications. The three purposes of the journal are: • To publish the best undergraduate research in Elon’s School of Communications each term, • To serve as a repository for quality work to benefit future students seeking models for how to do undergraduate research well, and • To advance the university’s priority to emphasize undergraduate student research. The Elon Journal is published twice a year, with spring and fall issues. Articles and other materials in the journal may be freely downloaded, reproduced and redistributed without permission as long as the author and source are properly cited. Student authors retain copyright own- ership of their works. Celebrating Student Research This journal reflects what we enjoy seeing in our students -- intellectual maturing.
