Graduate Student Elizabeth A. Blanchard’s Special “Thank You” to a Faculty Member also Benefits the Ball State University Libraries

Elizabeth A. Blanchard was looking for a special way to say “thank you” to Professor Judi E. Egbert, a Ball State faculty member and advisor in the Department of Social Work. As a token of her appreciation, Elizabeth chose to purchase two books in Prof. Egbert’s honor and recently donated them to the Ball State University Libraries.

“By donating two books in Judi’s area of interest, I hope I can show my appreciation for her sharing of time, knowledge, and understanding of both social work issues and life in general,” said Elizabeth. “I am grateful to the people who work in the Department of Social Work, and I hope that the donation of these books will help other students succeed.”

The books are Cultural Competence in Process and Practice Building Bridges by Juliet C. Rothman and Culturally Competent Practice: A Framework for Understanding Diverse Groups and Justice Issues, edited by Doman Lum.

“We thank Elizabeth and wish her the best as she graduates from Ball State University this spring,” said Dr. Arthur W. Hafner, Dean of University Libraries.
