Hello! We are the Queer Student Alliance (QSA). Every year, we host a Drag Show as a way to bring the Regis community together, including Queer folks and allies. Currently we are looking for participants in the show on a volunteer basis. We are specifically looking for Drag performers, but we also have positions open in tech, hair and makeup crew, as well as helpers backstage to help keep performers organized! These positions are open to undergrad and grad students, Regis faculty, and Regis Alumni.
The show will be on April 12th from 7-9pm, and we are planning on providing support or workshops for performers. We have attached a form that allows you to sign up for any of these positions. Click the photo or below link for the Drag Show Interest form!
The library is teaming up with Denver Pet Partners and we will have therapy animals in the library available for love and pets April 24th from 11-1pm. In addition to animals, we will have several activities and spaces open for you to de-stress and take a break with throughout the week prior to exams: A Board of Encouragement, Snack Station and Adult Coloring.
Hello, My name is Stacy and I joined the DML team in March. I recently graduated from CSU-Pueblo with a major in History. I have worked in academic and public libraries in the past and hope to work in archives someday. When not working, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and reading. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and being part of the DML team!
Camping
Enjoying the great outdoors posing and smiling together on a paved trail in a pine forest. Three women in power wheelchairs in the front row. Laura Hershey is in the middle front row and is wearing a white patterned skirt, a turquoise top, and a nasal ventilator tube. There are three women including me, Grace Herbison, standing in the row behind Laura and friends.

Protesting lack of access to United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China
Laura became very active in groups like ADAPT as the ADA came under constant attack. Her focus was not just on protecting civil rights, but on empowering people whose rights were threatened. She began protesting the very telethon for which she had been a poster child and demanded that people with disabilities be seen as full citizens with rights, rather than people who should be pitied. Laura became recognized around the world for trying to make people's lives better.
Last Month to enjoy the beautiful artwork in the Dayton Memorial Library fireside gallery! Works in this current show by Ken Phillips are a visual meditation on the story of Creation as told in the Book of Genesis. These colorful fabric hangings include border work of words in Phillips' characteristic script. They poetically embrace the days of Creation and imaginatively expand on what is outlined in the Bible text.
Phillips is a former 34-year employee of Regis University and a current volunteer in the Office of Mission. He received his bachelors from Siena Heights University in Michigan and, after five years of teaching, his MFA in printmaking and ceramics from Bowling Green State University, Ohio.
The medium of fabric has been part of his creative life since high school, but it was launched in earnest with his move to Colorado, in part due to studio unavailability, but as well due to his abiding love for fabric and celebrational hangings. He also has had multiple one-person shows in Denver and has provided fabric art for decades of Regis liturgical celebrations, various churches in Denver, and varied conferences and events throughout Colorado.
