The Library would like to recognize Ashleigh Bennett, a Psychology major with a minor in Philosophy, for her hard work and commitment to the Weinberg Memorial Library. Ashleigh is from Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania and has worked in Media Resources/EDLAB since August 2012. Ashleigh is friendly, self-motivated and organized which helps keep the department running smoothly, and she uses her creativity to design posters for the International Film Series. Her favorite perk of the job is previewing new films.

In addition to her work responsibilities, Ashleigh is a member of Circle K, a community service organization on campus, where she has volunteered at a local daycare center and for Safe Trick or Treat. Ashleigh’s favorite hobby is photography and her photos have been published in the University’s literary magazine Esprit for several years. Her recent photo submission “No Quarters” is on the cover of the Fall 2013 edition.

After graduation Ashleigh plans to attend graduate school for Clinical Psychology and then begin working in that field.

Thank you Ashleigh! We appreciate all you do.

Strong became head coach for the Lady Royals in 1979. Here’s a photo of Coach Strong with his team from the 1980 Windhover yearbook:
