Room to Read

by Josephine Sittenfeld '02

After a gloriously beautiful weekend in May, in which the universityÕs 19th president was named and houseparties rocked the Street, reading period began. On Monday, May 7, Steve Bernemen Õ02 and Elyse Kovalsky Õ03 plugged in their laptops at Firestone LibraryÕs recently renovated Trustee Reading Room to begin the semesterÕs final study stretch. Bernemen was pounding out his junior paper on after-school programs for at-risk youth in Philadelphia, while Kovalsky was busy finishing up an art history paper on realism.
