Emma Spalding Wins "Piece It Together" Award!

A few weeks ago, Collins Library held the “Piece It Together” puzzle mystery event and winner Emma Spalding goes home with the grand prize: a brand new Kindle, and she is featured in our blog! Emma shares with us her thoughts and experiences. Read on and see what she has to say!

1. What did you like best about Orientation?
I loved the Passages portion of orientation. I am passionate about the outdoors and work as a Summer Camp Counselor, so being able to see upperclassmen so involved and interested in the Freshman class and willing to take time out of their summer was a great welcome to college. It also truly showed the spirit of the student body at UPS and reaffirms the reasons I chose to come here.

2. What did you learn about Collins Library?
I learned just how vast the resources at the Library are and how different it is from my high school library. I also learned about all the librarians and how they specialize. I can’t wait to use their knowledge to help me with my papers and projects. I also learned that there are so many resources that the library has that I have yet to explore.

3. First Impressions of Puget Sound?
My first impressions of UPS from the orientation week are that this is the perfect place for me. Literally everyone is friendly and they do care about you. Also there are so many people interested in the outdoors and there will be so many opportunities for me to explore the Pacific Northwest. It has been really sunny, but I think that is the one first impression that is going to be proven false!
