Former Librarian Presents Research....

Susan Ferrandiz, recently retired reference librarian, will be presenting her original research on the labor activist Fannie Sellins as part of this year's Research Symposium. Her presentation will be at 3PM, room 130 in the Physical Therapy Building on Friday, April 1.

Fannie Sellins was a labor activist in western Pennsylvania in the early 20th century and was murdered in Pittsburgh. Somehow she was left out of most history books or given little more mention than a footnote. Susan has done a great deal of research with primary documents and has even interviewed descendants of Sellins. Sellins is remembered at a yearly ceremony when a few people gather at her gravesite. This year Susan spoke at the event. Read more about Fannie Sellins here...
