In this webinar former sociology students will share how a degree in sociology shaped their career path and how sociological principles are employed in their positions on a daily basis. The presenters include three young professionals who began their careers with a BA in sociology.  Sushama Rajapaksa, a research associate and Alexis Mesko, a probation officer, are both featured in the booklet "21st Century Careers with an Undergraduate Degree in Sociology, 2nd Edition.” David Deloach, a surgical consultant at an ophthalmology practice in Orlando, is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida. Their comments and advice to sociology students will be supplemented by Dr. Mary Senter, Professor of Sociology at Central Michigan University, who will be presenting national data about sociology majors and their career trajectories. In addition, Professor Senter will suggest ways in which students can use information from the surveys to assist them in their job search efforts. There will be ample time reserved for Q&A

We encourage you to bring students together as a group for viewing. Last year we held a similar webinar and some departments chose to either gather in a computer lab (each registering individually), or participate in more of a classroom setting using one computer, a projector and a speakerphone.

Barr Library welcomes both page-turning thriller writer Steve Berry and master of urban fiction Eric Jerome Dickey in April. Berry will appear Thursday, April 14, 6 PM, and Dickey will appear Friday, April 22, 12 PM. A limited number of complimentary copies of the authors’ titles will be available to Soldiers in uniform at the respective events. 

What happens if both the president and vice-president die before taking the oath of office? That’s the intriguing question behind The 14th Colony, Berry’s new novel featuring former federal agent turned bookseller Cotton Malone. Pressed into service by his former boss, Malone must locate and stop a former KGB mastermind who is bent on plunging the United States into chaos.

Berry, a former attorney, is the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of 10 Cotton Malone adventures, four stand-alone thrillers, and four novellas. His books have appeared in 51 countries in 40 languages and he has more than 20 million books in print.

His first Cotton Malone thriller, The Templar Legacy, was named one of the top 100 thrillers ever written in an NPR survey. Dickey’s new novel, The Blackbirds, tells the story of four best friends who will go to the ends of the earth for one another. As the young women struggle with their own demons and desires, they find themselves and their friendship tested.

Dickey has been praised by publications as varied as The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly and USA Today and was named the winner of Best Contemporary Fiction and Author of the Year (Male) at the 2006 African American Literary Award Show. Dickey is also the author of a six issue Marvel comic book miniseries featuring The X-Men’s Storm and the Black Panther.

Copies of both authors’ books will be available for purchase at their events. For further information, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232, visit barrlibrary.org, barrlibrary.mobi or on the Library’s Facebook page.
