鶹ƵUniversity Libraries recognized its student employees with an awards celebration on April 17. The Libraries typically employ around 150 undergraduate and graduate students each year to contribute to the safety of its spaces, the quality and repair of its collections, and to provide service support to patrons and student entrepreneurs. Supervisors nominate student employees who have demonstrated dedicated service over time and significant contributions that have made a lasting impact on the Libraries.
The Libraries recognize these students through the generous support of Board of Trustees Chair Emeritus Kathleen ’73, H’23 and Stanley Walters, the family of Patricia Kutner Strait and the many donors to the Libraries Dean’s Fund.

“We highly value our library students whose enthusiasm and expertise enrich us daily. I recognize the critical role our student employees play,” says David Seaman, dean of Libraries and University Librarian. “They often remain with us throughout their undergraduate and graduate studies at 鶹ƵUniversity, becoming integral members of the Libraries community. We are profoundly thankful to Stanley and Kathy Walters and the family of Patricia Kutner Strait for establishing the endowments that enable these awards, and to the numerous contributors to the Dean’s Fund.”
