During the spring semester of 2021, Justin Neisler did an internship with Hiebert Library as his senior project for completion of his Communications degree at Fresno Pacific University. Justin is planning to pursue a career in voice work after graduation and wanted an internship that would help him develop the technical skills needed.
In honor of National Poetry Month (April) Justin selected to read To My Sister, a poem by William Wordsworth. In his words, “The poem celebrates the arrival of spring and the beauty of the season.”

In celebration of Women's History Month, Justin Neisler has selected Ain't I a Woman, by Sojourner Truth. The speech was delivered in 1851 at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio. In his words, "Ain't I a Woman, calls attention to the need for equal rights for women of color. Her words are meant to bring unity to the suffrage and abolitionist movements."
Read by Stephanie Fernandez-Magallon, a junior English Major with a Communication minor at Fresno Pacific University.
