Our Graduates: Jeff Kerlegrand


Jeff came to us from the Fine Arts library after its doors were shut, coming highly recommended by his former supervisor. There was a brief interview, a firm handshake to seal the deal, and the legend was born. Jeff spent the next two years as the fastest trigger in the Midwest, picking up shifts as fast as his co-workers could post them. As with all legends, myths sprung up around him. He didn’t sleep, some said, spending all his time staring at his phone. Others speculated he had a time machine, which he used to go back before anyone else could grab a given shift. Instead of the other things you could use a time machine for. I don’t know if any of those things are true, but I do know it’s been great having him around. Here is the man in his own words:

“I honestly don’t know where to begin. Luckily, I have been fortunate enough to call the SPEA library home for the last two years.  I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people one could meet. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better job. During my time here at IU I have been able to make countless memories that I’ll look back on for as long as I live. I will miss the amazing scenery, friendly people, the free food and just all the energy and school spirit of everyone on campus. As far as next steps, I have been fortunate enough to earn a degree in Accounting from the Kelley School and will be working full-time for EY who happens to be a Big 4 Accounting firm. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my many friends including many of you here at the SPEA library. In some way shape or form you have contributed to my success here at IU and I’d like to thank you all for that and the great memories we were able to create!”

Back at you, Jeff.
