Senior Spotlight - Sara Schlichting

 


As the end of the semester approaches, we’d like to take the opportunity to highlight our graduating seniors. This is a bittersweet moment for us as we will miss them terribly, but we wish them much success in the future. Their contributions to our library during their time here have been invaluable to the success of our library and appreciated more than they know. 

We thought it would be awesome for them to share a few words about their time here at the Business/SPEA Library.  

Where are you from?  I am from Denver, Colorado

How long have you worked at the Business/SPEA Library?  I started working my freshman year, so 2020.

What is your position at the library?  Public Services Assistant

What did you enjoy about working at our library?  I loved being a part of the Jeri Fan Club and eating Matt’s chocolate chip cookies once a month

Do you have a favorite library, IU or Bloomington memory?  One thing I will really miss about living in Bloomington is that as soon as the weather gets warm enough, flowers are planted absolutely everywhere in a bunch of different colors and everywhere you look! 

What’s your degree & major?  I am getting a Bachelor of Science in Business and my major is Information Systems and Sustainable Business

What are your plans after leaving IU?  I am moving back to Denver, Colorado and I am working full time at RSM as a Technology Risk Consultant

Any farewell thoughts to share?  I have always loved how welcoming and supportive every staff member at the library is. I love that I can have a conversation with anyone, and it feels like we have known each other forever. I especially appreciate that even after taking some time off from working, I was welcomed back for my senior year with open arms, and I actually look forward to working with the people here because everyone is so friendly. I will miss everyone when I leave!!

Thank you, Sara for being a part of the Business/SPEA Library team. Congratulations & Best Wishes in the future!
