Show Thursday, December 6, 2007 NORTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS Page 19 UVSC Library receives $2,000 Grant The UVSC Library Archives was recently awarded award-ed a $2,000 operational grant from the Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board. The grant money will be used to help UVSC Archives purchase new microfilm storage shelves and a microfilm readerscannerprinter readerscan-nerprinter unit. In spring 2007, the Utah State Division of Archives and Records chose UVSC Archives to become one of 12 regional repositories for certain county and local records. The reposi- tory will someday house microfilmed mi-crofilmed copies of city and county records from Utah, Millard, Juab and Wasatch counties. Because of UVSC's central location, the records will be more readily available to these communities than the state same records housed in the State Archives in Salt Lake City. The new microfilm shelves and new equipment will help UVSC Archives serve the community in this important impor-tant role. "These records could be of use for historical research or family research, and we want to encourage the public to take the advantage of them, especially as the collection starts to grow," says Catherine Mclntyre, UVSC's Archivist. "The UVSC Archives are open to everyone." Questions can be directed to Catherine Mclntyre at (801) 863-7011 8821 or by e-mail at mcintycauvsc.edu.

Madsen's original intent in traveling to Abu Dhabi was to conduct research on the learning learn-ing experiences of women attending at-tending the college, including surveys, interviews and general gen-eral observation. Shortly before she left for her trip, however, she was asked if she would lecture to the students and the faculty of the college on the subject of leadership, as well as conducting conduct-ing her research. She offered several lectures on topics such as how to be a more effective leader and the best ways to develop de-velop leadership in college. It was the first time that Abu Dhabi Women's College had any sort of leadership training on campus. "Things are really changing," says Madsen, "and they were just bursting at the seams to-learn to-learn about becoming leaders." Because the role of women is still a delicate issue in the Middle East, the definition of "leader" wasn't limited to a political leader, but expanded to include women as leaders in their homes, communities, and workplaces, as well as their governments. "It was a moving experience experi-ence for me," Madsen said. "It opened my eyes to a whole new culture and way of thinking. think-ing. I felt so comfortable there. I felt that I could understand them, and in a few days it changed so that we were communicating com-municating human to human, not culture to culture." Since Madsen has returned to Utah, she has continued to remain in contact with people who she met during her experience. experi-ence. Together, they are working work-ing toward developing a center for leadership development for the women of Abu Dhabi, so that women from the whole community can have the sup Heritage Care Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation Long Term Care Assisted Living -SIM- ;!fi Stone Ride Veterinary OJinic Full Service Veterinary Hospital ,., 1 DECEMBER SPECIAL m' FREE EXAMS FOR ALL NEW PATIENTS.
