Embrace Your Geekness Day!

Geeks are so in style these days, and now Embrace Your Geekness Day is a special date (July 13) dedicated to all self-proclaimed geeks! Do you have a geeky side and are you unprepared for this special day? That’s no problem; we’ll get you back on course right away.

Although we probably all have an inner geek, there are some that are sure suspects. We have in mind the Computer Science, Information Science, as well as the Library and Information Science folks among us, although everyone is welcome to embrace his/her geekness. How do you embrace your geekness anyway? (And yes, it’s ‘geekness’, not ‘geekiness’ day – I know who’s reading this!) Obviously the first thing to do is to check out the Career Resource Library’s fantastic resources. Here are a few ideas:
