Escape Room
The ODY Library would like to invite you to participate in a SLU-themed escape room. Your team will crack codes, open locked boxes, translate clues, and more in this thrilling race against the clock!
This activity is digital-free; requiring creative use of the library materials and primary sources provided in the escape room. Work together to complete ‘missions’ pertaining to SLU, Canton, and North Country history to successfully ‘escape.’ The escape room is best suited for groups of 8-15 students per session, and typically takes about an hour to complete.

WORD Studio Policy on GenAI
Defining Generative AI
"GenAI" here indicates those large language models (LLMs) or generative AI programs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and similar text-generation tools.
Important Clarification: Writing assistance tools exist on a spectrum. The WORD Studio has long worked with students using grammar and spell-checking tools like Grammarly, MS Word Editor, and similar programs. We recognize that the line between "writing assistance" and "generative AI" continues to evolve.
