Did you miss Himmelfarb Library’s 2018 Art Show?
Did you miss Himmelfarb Library's 2018 Art Show? While the show is no longer physically in Himmelfarb Library, images of the art are available via the Health Science Research Commons.
The Health Sciences Research Commons (HSRC) is an online repository for gathering, archiving, and disseminating the material produced by GW's Milken Institute School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the School of Nursing. The HSRC can be searched or browsed by school, author, or collection.

Can being a Washington Capitals’ fan make you HAPPIER?
As the Washington Capitals' winning record brings them closer to the Stanley Cup, Himmelfarb Library looks to the health sciences literature to assess if being a Washington Capitals' fan can make you happier.
In this article, researchers explored the relationship of emotional expression with group membership. Extrapolating from that data, we suggest that being a Washington Capitals fan will make you happier.
GO CAPS!
