Graduating Student Spotlight -- Lily

 


As the end of the semester approaches, we'd like to take the opportunity to highlight our graduating students. 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.

So, 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? - Crown Point, Indiana

How long have you worked at the Business/SPEA Library? - Since Spring 2023, so my second semester of college

What is your position here at the library? - Senior PSA!

What did you enjoy about working at the library? - Being able to yap with people and become friends with them, rather than only work-related things.

Do you have a favorite memory of the Business/SPEA Library? - Matt jumping over the desk (by the time you read this, he’ll have done it because otherwise I’ll be gone and he promised).

Do you have a favorite Indiana University or Bloomington memory? - Seeing the national championship game with Leya and Olivia and lots of others, and then talking to Jeri about it afterwards.

What is your degree & major? - Currently, a Master of Science in Management with a focus on Leadership and HR, but it was once a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies with a certificate in Second Language Acquisition and TESOL and a minor in Chinese.

What are your plans after leaving IU? - Well, if I have a say in it, hopefully to stay and work here for a little longer, and then go to work at a different college where Noah inevitably goes to get an MD/PhD while I do admissions or HR things. Maybe even get a PhD, who knows!

Do you have any farewell thoughts you'd like to share with your library colleagues? - Don’t drink an energy drink after 8 pm, don’t make bad decisions, and spin in the new chairs extra so we get new ones in the back too.
