The “Readers are Leaders” Literacy Initiative highlights the superb academic and extra-curricular contributions of student who prioritize reading in their personal and professional development. At RMU, readers are leaders.
The primary goal of the “Readers are Leaders” campaign is to promote student groups, engaged reading, and intellectual growth. Naturally, it also endorses RMU’s Information Technology Library. As such, the launch of the “Readers are Leaders” campaign corresponds with the celebration of National Library Week, April 8-14, 2012.
For additional information, contact the “Readers are Leaders” faculty representative and Chair of the College of Liberal Arts Library Committee Tricia Lunt at mlunt@robertmorris.edu or visit her in the CLA offices (624 on the Chicago campus).
