Our Graduates: Jacob Lucas

Jacob, who hails from the near east-side of Indy, will be graduating with a major in History and minors in both Economics and Mathematics. He plans to jump right back into academia by going to graduate school, and is considering his options as to where to go and what to study. Jacob will continue to work here and in the Wells library over the summer as he plans his next move.

Jacob came to us late in the game, and will have been with us for only a year by the time he graduates. Not that he was new to the library game – Jacob had spent the three previous years working for the Swain library. When that library closed, we happily welcomed him to the Business/SPEA fold (as we did tall Matt and Natalie Wozniak). Even in the short time he’s been here, Jacob has been able to make his mark, having coined a term that will be a permanent part of the Business/SPEA lexicon --

KeyTSD (noun): a condition in which the sufferer is especially attuned to the sound of jingling keys, even to the point of imagining the sound when it isn’t occurring

Here is what Jacob had to say about working here: “Having been at Swain Hall Library for 3 years, I wasn't sure what to expect here at the BSIC. I was glad to learn that everyone was incredibly helpful and kind in helping me get the lay of the land, and I can genuinely say that I felt welcome as soon as I stepped through the doors. It was a great senior year, and a pleasure to meet and work with everyone here!”

We feel the same way! We have been very glad to have you here, and we wish you well on your next endeavor!
