Over 500 Students, Faculty and Staff filled out our Library Survey last semsester and two of those were chosen at random to receive an iPod Nano as a prize. One of the winners, Cindy Sanchez, is a senior, majoring in hisotry and secondary education. Ms. Sanchez says she is in the library almost every day, and loves it. The other winner was Mustafa Dyara, a sophomore, majoring in biology. Having “never won anything before”, he was pleasantly suprised to find he had won his first iPod.
