The Paul Robeson Library and Research Center is a spacious study room on the first floor of Du Bois College House open to all University students. The center is named for Paul Robeson, an African-American who is known as an athlete, scholar, actor, singer and activist of his time. Robeson spent his last years in Philadelphia. The Research Center holds a collection of about 2,500 texts ranging from fiction, collections of essays, historical text, psychology, sociology, and much, much more. The majority of these texts share a focus on members of the African Diaspora and its diversity. In addition to various books, the center also has copies of various periodicals, magazines, and current course textbooks. Two new computers are also available for research or typing papers. Periodically throughout the semester, various workshops are held regarding academic help services on campus as well as other important factors for improving student life. Inside the center, students can access information about different departments and their services across the university. Currently the center is open throughout the day.
