RSU Libraries invites you to contribute your original creative works to our fifth annual Creative Showcase, which will kick off with an Open House Monday, April 14, at 6 p.m., and remain on display through Sunday, April 27. This year's theme is "Echoes of Transformation: The Journey of Identity & Belonging (or Not)."

We ask this year's participants to reflect on the journey of change and explore how transformation shapes who we are and where we fit, or don't. As always, this event aims to highlight the talents, voices, and contributions of our Hillcat community through a multimedia display located in the Stratton Taylor Library on the Claremore campus.
