"My mission is to spread knowledge of Notre Dame's library system as a resource. So many undergraduates, most especially those who placed out of Writing and Rhetoric, don't know where to start when using the library or online resources. It's not all undergraduates; graduate students who went to undergrad somewhere else can be unfamiliar with the library as a resource. Some of what I do involves finding the best methods to make this happen: will freshmen read an explanatory email? Will they read a poster? I found a large population of seniors writing senior theses were interested in learning about research and the library, so we hold a one-week camp for them. Graduate students were interested in a camp for them as well, to write dissertations, so we also hold a camp for them."
                "Why should Notre Dame students care about using the library?"
"Well, do you care about your degree?" (laughs) "In all honesty, going to college is mostly about specializing in a field, cultivating your talents, and then going out into the world to use them for a bigger purpose. You want to be as well-equipped as you can for all steps along the way. I'm passionate about guiding students to cultivate knowledge and progress in their intellectual endeavors."
