Haley Shaw
Haley Shaw ’15 received a Friends of the Libraries scholarship for her thesis research on Ancient Greek gynecology.
Shaw is double majoring in Anthropology and Classical Civilization with a minor in Music. To be considered for the scholarships, student employees were encouraged to submit an essay on their experience using the Libraries’ resources for a research project, the value of Alden Library and how working at the Libraries has helped them personally. A committee then reviewed the students’ essays to select the scholarship recipients. Shaw worked in the Music and Dance Library at Alden.
Shaw used her essay to reflect on the critical role the libraries played in conducting research for her honors thesis.
“From books and materials to electronic resources and physical space, I feel fortunate to have the libraries as a vital part of my education,” she wrote.
“The use of library resources over the last four years has prepared me with the foundational understanding needed to embark upon one of the most significant research projects of my college career—my honors thesis on the subject of Ancient Greek gynecology. I am in the beginning stages of this project and have already utilized numerous resources the libraries provide.”
