Fast Fact Número Uno: From the most recent data available, nearly 8% of Upstate students identify as Hispanic/Latino. 

Fast Fact Número Dos: According to the U.S. Postsecondary National Policy Institute, in Fall 2022, Latino students made up more than 20% of postsecondary enrollment. 

***

Now on view on the library's 1st floor is a series of posters commemorating and celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15).

You'll find most of the posters near Perk Up!, the library's café. Others are displayed along the wall in the study room area. You'll find a few more near the parking lot entrance to the library.

Commemorated and celebrated are the cultural contributions from different Hispanic nations and heritages, from Argentina to the U.S., from Honduras to Peru, from Mexico to Puerto Rico, along with many others.

The posters will be on display through mid-October.

Children holding hands in front of a sunset - Flyer advertising Real People Real Climate Real Changes exhibitNew year, new view!

The USC Upstate Library is excited to announce the opening of a new exhibit: Real People, Real Climate, Real Changes. The exhibit has been developed by the National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Center for Science Education. The exhibit shares the science of climate change and how it impacts people's lives.

The exhibit is on view in the 1st floor cafe area from Monday, January 8, through Wednesday, February 28. The library is located at 150 Gramling Drive. USC Upstate is so far the only South Carolina stop for this important, informative exhibit.

In the exhibit, you'll learn how people are affected by climate change--from farmers to coastal residents to urban dwellers. You'll also learn about the people who are finding solutions to this global challenge.

The exhibit features interactive displays to help you explore how climate change is affecting different environments, learn about the impact of sea level rise, and discover ways to lower your carbon footprint. 

At the end of the exhibit, you'll have an opportunity to share your "Climate Stories." You can write a message, draw a picture, or try another creative approach and share your insights and concerns with others.

In the coming weeks, working with others on campus and in the region, we hope to organize a climate change discussion, along with creating a guide to library resources on the environment, climate change, and sustainability.
