Frostburg Achievements Display

The Ort Library is pleased to announce the creation of a display to recognize the scholarly achievements of members of Frostburg State University.  Located in the main lobby on the third floor of the Ort Library, the display highlights academic publications and professional works authored, edited, produced, or created by members of the Frostburg State University community.

Library staff anticipate rotating the display annually to highlight faculty, staff, and/or student scholarship.  Although the current display relies heavily on FSU Professional Achievements booklets for its content, your submissions and suggestions are welcome. Please feel free to complete the form located at https://www.frostburg.edu/lewis-ort-library/userserv/forms/achievement/ or email libdisplay@frostburg.edu to share your ideas.
