2010 Census



It's that time again. The U.S. Census Bureau is about to begin its Constitutionally-mandated count of everyone who resides in the United States. While their web site provides plenty of information about the census process, here are some highlights:


  • March, 2010: Census forms will be mailed or delivered to American households.
  • April 1, 2010: National Census Day - if your forms are not returned by that date, you will probably be visited by a census taker. Census takers, who will be working to collect data between April and July of 2010, will not come to your home if you've mailed in your census questionnaire.
  • Be sure to check out this information about what to expect and how to verify the identity of a census worker.
  • If you're concerned about the security of the information you report, be sure to read Protecting Your Personal Information.

Applications are available in the main office on the second floor of the library for the Marjorie Stephenson Scholarship. Ms. Stephenson was a member of the library faculty who made provisions in her will for a scholarship for undergraduate students at SRU. Black female students receive priority consideration--all full-time students, however, are welcome to apply. Full details are available with the applications.
