If you’ve ever been in Wilson Special Collections Library, you’ve benefitted from the work of our student employees. When we tell our students “We couldn’t have done it without you,” we really really mean it. Students are a critical part of our work in every department. They write finding aids, move boxes, repair books, answer reference questions, create exhibits, digitize materials, and more.
This time of year finds us with conflicted feelings of loss and pride as a group of bright, industrious student employees heads off to conquer the world. We’ll miss them dearly, but we’re excited to see each of them make their mark.
We’d like to take a moment to thank our grads for their hard work, congratulate them on this notable accomplishment, and send them off with best wishes for happiness and success.
