Library exhibit raises brain injury awareness

Over the Fall and Winter Terms, Student Library Assistants in Brock University's James A. Gibson Library have curated displays of the library’s collections on topics in which they are passionate. This month, Katie Vandongen, a second-year co-op student in Psychology, is exhibiting titles related to brain injury awareness. “As a student in the Psychology program at Brock, it seemed fitting to create a display for a topic that is close to my heart, while educating my fellow peers," she said. "Traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, are very common among young adults, especially student athletes. It is important to know the signs and symptoms of traumatic brain injuries to prevent irrecoverable damage from occurring. I hope that library users will take a moment to view my display and educate themselves on the warning signs of traumatic brain injury.” The exhibit will be on display until the end of March in the James A. Gibson Library and at the Thistle entrance to the Matheson Learning Commons.
