Carissa Tomlinson has completed her consultancy with Menlo College, Bowman Library. For several weeks, the Library Team and Ms. Tomlinson worked together on a planning phase for a new form of student leadership and work experience at the library. Ms. Tomlinson's recommendations will be taken up by our Student Success Librarian and the whole library team to design and implement over the next year. Student assistants will gain valuable transferable skills for future career paths in business and psychology through their work experience at the library. Student specialists are an integral part of the library workforce.
In this new library program, student specialists will gain skills in communications, problem solving, leadership, programming and project management in cultural institutions. Students are also trained in specialized research skills, analytics and customer engagement methods in research organizations. As the library adopts more high impact practices to advance student learning, we can expect to see gains in their future job prospects as well as graduation and retention rates for participants and their colleagues.
