I am very excited to be a part of Carroll College. The college’s emphasis on 'living and learning' strongly resonates with me. Libraries offer a unique opportunity to facilitate this motto by serving as a campus hub that supports the academic needs of students and provides a welcoming space that encourages community and connection. I look forward to working with the outstanding people in the Jack and Sally Corette Library and the Simperman Learning Commons to renovate and create an innovative and dynamic campus hub.
