In Fall 2024, President John Denning and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Peter Ubertaccio visualized a space dedicated to celebrate Stonehill scholarship. The historic Irish Studies Library at Donahue Hall, now empty of its original collection, offered an ideal option. Enter Stella Henderson, Class of 2026.

Hauling the first 20 boxes of books published by past and present faculty, Stella and Professor Ubertaccio began the ongoing process of creating an immersive Stonehill research experience. This is only the start. What’s New, Donahue? will give you a monthly snapshot of this developing space.

This month, YOU can help by sticking spine labels on each of the books in the collection. 10 stickers gets you a slice of pizza, loads of fun, and a satisfying sense of having contributed to a bit of timeless Stonehill history. Grab a friend and come on over.
