Why I love my job

There are many reasons I love my job, but today reminded me of something that's always at the top of my list.

Harding people.

This morning, I met with a class of our graduate students and helped them with a research project. Grad school can be a scary time. Even great students sometimes flounder a bit. I love that my role allows me to provide encouragement and support, but not grades.

Yep -- I love Harding students!

This afternoon, three alumni came by and asked if we had any scrapbooks from their social club, which has disbanded in recent years. Thankfully, I was able to say YES!


Seeing the faces of these women as they remembered their own time as students was a joy. It's always an honor to hear the stories, see the hopes of reconnection, and share the comfort of returning to thoughts of a simpler time.


It's wonderful when people can come in and look at our scrapbooks, but you don't have to be on campus to revisit the memories. All of our yearbooks are available online and we have over 5,000 images in our Flickr account. We also hope to make the club scrapbooks available in the near future.

So check us out! If you have any questions about our archival holdings, call us at 279-4775. We'll be glad to see if we have what you need.
