You may have noticed some books in the Library Catalog listed with a location titled “Center for Mission Reflection” and wondered where the Center is located. It is actually a room within the Library on the fourth floor across from Special Collections. This collection features books and serials on Jesuit history and teachings. To find books within that space, search the catalog for “Center for Mission Reflection.”

Trail Clean-up
The Weinberg’s Green Team participated in a trail clean-up Saturday morning along their adopted section of the LHVA Heritage Trail. The team worked for two hours and made it through half the trail. In that short amount of time, they succeeded in filling 9 bags of garbage, several bags of recycling, a pile of metal, and a tire! Their adopted section is the CNJ portion and runs from 7th Avenue, along the South Side Sports Complex, to Elm St. The team will be planning more clean-ups in the future.
