Tomlinson Library hosts a variety of events, often in collaboration with CMU faculty, departments, and offices, with an eye toward celebrating campus community diversity, achievements, and more. Below you'll find information about these recurring events. See our upcoming Events & Workshops at Tomlinson.
Additionally, Library staff developed a set of Metaliteracy Learning Outcomes with its Cultural Café Series in mind. Metaliteracies focus on the affective, behavioral, cognitive, and metacognitive aspects of personal growth and development. The metaliteracies below stem from the AAC&U's Intercultural Knowledge & Competence VALUE Rubric and Metaliteracy.org's 2018 Metaliteracy Goals & Learning Objectives. Our learning outcomes focus on: Cultural Self-Awareness; Knowledge of Cultural Worldview Frameworks; Empathy; Verbal and Nonverbal Communication; Curiosity; and Openness.
The Office of Academic Affairs and Tomlinson Library are proud to honor CMU's authors and creators through a biennial Author Showcase event. Faculty and staff are invited to share notifications about their books, book chapters, articles, artwork, and music and theatre performances. Sabbatical and Fulbright research and scholarship activities are also welcome!
The Cultural Café Series was created to introduce cultures and customs from around the world to the campus community. Our Cafés are coordinated by Tomlison Library staff in conjunction with CMU's International Student Programs office.
Places we have "visited" (through Oct. 2023):
Under the guidance of Dr. Mickey Stellavato, our Mass Communication Program's advanced photojournalism students take portraits of Cultural Inclusion Council (CIC) members as well as other CMU students. The Voices Seen Exhibit is a celebration of our Mavily.
