“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
John 14:1-4

RefWorks Contract
Many free citation management tools are now available on the web. RefWorks, a legacy citation management tool costing the college approximately $5,000/year, is under-utilized. Library staff, the Educational Technology Committee, and the Information and Web Technology Committee recommend the RefWorks contract not be renewed in July. This means anyone using RefWorks will need to export and move citations from RefWorks to a new citation management tool by June 30. Those with RefWorks content should set up a time with a librarian to migrate content to Zotero prior to June 30.

Dogs on campus
Messiah is a beautiful, open campus with lots of green space which provides a wonderful area for dog owners to walk their dogs. However, there are rules pertaining to having a dog on campus.
- All dogs MUST be leashed at all times; they are not permitted to be left running at large at any time.
- Dogs are NOT permitted in any campus building.
- Dogs are permitted on the Cumberland county side ONLY of the Yellow Breeches. This is the side where all the academic buildings are located.
- DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE STARRY FIELD SIDE AT ANY TIME; this includes being on any of the athletic fields and in the parking lot areas, including Treona.
- All handlers are to clean up after their dogs at all times.
Exemption: If the dog is a service dog or an emotional support animal, the above rules in reference to location areas do not apply.
As a reminder, Monaghan Township has a township ordinance related to dogs running at large on property not belonging to the owner/handler. The Department of Safety will be monitoring Starry Field and if dogs and handlers are found, you will be asked to leave the Starry Field area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Department of Safety at 717-691-6005. Thank you for helping us keep our grounds and athletic fields looking beautiful.
