According to Library Dean Mark Stover, the Oviatt Library has partnered with the National Center on Deafness (NCOD) to catalog items in the NCOD Library and make them available for search through the Library’s online catalog for the past several years. “Last year, the NCOD Director, Roz Rosen, approached me about increasing our partnership with NCOD by creating a new Library position that would better serve CSUN students who use the many vital resources in the NCOD Library,” Stover says.

In the season and spirit of giving, we would like to introduce Michael Barrett, a member of the Oviatt family whose very presence has been an inspirational gift to the entire CSUN community for the last four decades. Michael Barrett was born in Bakersfield, California, where he was raised on his family’s farm. After high school, he began his path into higher education close to home at Bakersfield College.

The Oviatt’s new Director of Development, Luann Rocha, has traveled a diverse and inspiring career path; one that in many ways has come full-circle. Now, fortunately for us, that path has led her back to the Library.
