Office hours
This is nothing specific to St. Scholastica, but it is difficult to overstate their usefulness–specially to freshmen. Every semester, professors set aside a few hours often a couple times a week to answer student questions. During these times (which you can find in your syllabi), students are welcome (and encouraged) to go and talk to professors about any questions they might have about the course or the content they are learning. It is also a great opportunity to get to know and develop a relationship with your professors, which is nice on its own sake but also useful when you are applying for jobs, internships or grad school, since, knowing you, they will be able to provide a stronger recommendation letter for you!

![Happy #LibraryShelfieDay! Did you know that the current location of the library used to be a chapel? Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel was built in the Romanesque architectural style in 1938. The Library was originally on the first floor, with the Chapel above. A major renovation occurred in 1986, when the Chapel and the Library exchanged places. The tall ceilings of the Chapel were divided into three floors. It is very intentional that the chapel and library share a building. As Sister Joan Braun is quoted as saying at the Library’s renovation dedication, “Medieval libraries were housed near the Church; St. Scholastica's library is now housed above the place of worship. I would like to suggest to you that this location has a rational relationship as well as a symbolic one. In the library, we seek knowledge; in the chapel we seek wisdom which builds on knowledge.” #LibraryShelfieDay #sceniccampus #OurLadyQueenofPeaceChapel #knowledgeandwisdom #community #hospitality #history [image description: gallery of pictures of the third floor of the library]](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/81816015_2299685423658122_7248612442383716658_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=DK3Jxuv0YOUAX9a65E6&oh=728ca206cc11e0684e79509ecc351740&oe=5EC54796 "Happy #LibraryShelfieDay!
