Foundation Supports Library Research Contest

To draw attention to the University Library and its assets, the library created a contest that challenged students to utilize library resources for research. Students had to write an essay about how the databases, archives, special collections, and library services helped them research a topic that interested them.

Library staff narrowed down the entries to four and asked several external reviewers, including Foundation Executive Assistant Anne McLoughlin, to determine the three winners in the following categories: Best Use of Special Collections, Best Undergraduate Student Project, and Honorable Mention.

The Foundation also provided a $150 bronco gift card to be used as an incentive prize for this inaugural contest.

Winners of the University Library research contest:

• Best Use of Special Collections – Jeffrey Nelson • Best Undergraduate Student Project – Malak Habbak • Honorable Mention – Ian Joyce

Seniors Malak Habbak, Jeffrey Nelson and Ian Joyce are the winners of the inaugural Library Research Contest.

The Den Enhances Their Pancakes with New Recipe

In May, Martha DeAlba, The Den manager, and Maria Nino, The Den floor operation supervisor, attended the Project 38 GM Training in Chino, where they learned how to make the new pancake recipe for The Den.

Denny’s Corporation decided to enhance their pancakes since pancakes are one of Denny’s most popular core menu items. System wide, they sell more than 2.5 million pancakes every week.

The new pancake recipe is made with fresh, top-grade buttermilk that is prepared exclusively for Denny’s. The pancakes also have new, premium batter mix with special ingredients to make the pancakes light and fluffy with a truly rich and delicious flavor.

Compared to the original recipe, the new pancakes are now fluffier, lighter in texture, sweeter due to the addition of real vanilla, and have an enticing fresh-baked aroma.

“They are super delicious,” expresses Martha DeAlba. “They are made more home-style.”

The Den has been in the process of training their employees on the new recipe. Although The Den will be closed during the summer, guests will be able to purchase the new, mouthwatering pancakes starting fall quarter.
