We're very happy to announce Chayse as a winner of the Business/SPEA Library Above & Beyond Award for Spring 2026 semester. As a winner, Chayse is the recipient of a Target gift card.
Chayse was nominated by Matt
Here's what Matt had to say about Chayse: "During one of the
Sunday evenings last semester when we closed at 9pm instead of midnight, a
student asked for our help getting into a classroom she had been locked out of
when taking a study break. Her phone, keys, and computer were in the room and
she had an I-CORE exam the next morning that she was trying to prepare for.
Several calls were made to the campus dispatcher, but by the time the library
closed no one had come to unlock the classroom. Though her shift had come to an
end, Chayse volunteered to wait with the student, who was still hoping that
someone might come along to open the door and allow her to retrieve her things.
After nearly an hour, the student used Chayse's phone to make arrangements to
go to a friend's place for the evening. Chayse then offered to drop off the
student on her way home.
We're proud to announce that Chayse was also the IU Libraries Student Employee of the Month for February.
Congratulations Chayse!
Thank you for going Above & Beyond
