Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons continues to evolve to meet the needs of 21st-century students, faculty and staff.
As one example of the library’s commitment to remaining relevant and responsive, check out the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Action Plan which presents goals for advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism at the Lemieux Library. For the academic years 2021-22 and 2022-23, the Lemieux Library will focus many of the action items around racial equity in support of Seattle University Reigniting Our Strategic Directions 2022-2027, Goal Four: Promote Inclusive Excellence.
As a second example, consider the Learning Commons Partnership, which provides a unique environment for our students to succeed in their academic programs and develop the skills for a lifetime of intellectual vigor and continuous learning. Furthermore, the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons are focused on cultivating spaces that contribute to cultural and personal well-being, realizing the importance of academic and personal support throughout the college experience.
