Funk Library “Solving the World’s Challenges” Series

Funk Library is launching a new speaker series, “Solving the World’s Challeng-es,” where campus researchers from units connected to Funk share their re-search or work related to a selected world challenge. Funk Library serves a number of areas — agricultural, consumer and environmental sciences; urban & regional planning; landscape architecture; biological sciences; natural history, and more. This series brings together researchers from these areas to share perspectives from a variety of disciplines in one forum. The topic of this first se-ries program is ‘climate change’. It will be held on Tuesday, April 3, 2:30-3:30 pm on the main floor od Funk Library (which is the 2nd floor of our building). A 30 minute reception will follow. Panelists will be announced at a future date. Be sure to get this on your calendars!

ACES Collaborative Learning Center — not just for ACES stu-dents!

The ACES Collaborative Leaning Center (ACLC) opened in October 2017 to provide support for students needing academic assistance. ACLA provides peer tutoring for common required courses (e.g., accounting, economics, finance, statistics, math, chemistry, history, biology, psychology, and more). The ACLC is located in Funk Library, on the northeast corner of the library near the circulation desk, next to the print Periodicals area. It is available to students in other colleg-

es as well as those from the College of ACES. For hours and more infor-mation, see the ACLC website at https://publish.illinois.edu/acescollaborativelearningcenter/
