Research and Instruction Librarian

The Research and Instruction Librarian provides a student-centered mindset to all library functions catalyzing active learning. The Librarian will focus on developing programming and partnerships that help students engage in their campus community, get help when needed, develop skills, create projects, build networks, and explore career options. The primary duty is to help students find their people, passion, program and path by understanding the best ways to leverage the intersection of curriculum and community.
