    Professor Lisa Hussey will talk about her recent time working with the SOLA school in Kigali, Rwanda. During a 5-week stay, she worked to organize the collection, create an online inventory, and teach the students about information and online searching. SOLA is a boarding school for Afghan girls that moved to Kigali after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan.
