The degree of
Master of Library and Information Science
Virtual Convocation
2019
PROFILE
Current residence: Conway, SC, US
I wanted to earn a masters degree because:
It would open up so many more career opportunities for me in the field of Library and Information Science. Plus, I love books!
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My greatest supporters were my boyfriend, Mark McDonough, my parents John and Kathy Neilsen, and my cousin and best friend Lindsey Almanza.
While in the program, I met classmates from:
From all over. I moved across the country (from California to South Carolina) half way through my schooling and no matter where I lived, whether in California or South Carolina, there were students who lived nearby.
What I liked best about online learning was:
I liked that, for the most part, I could move at my own pace. While it was more challenging in many ways (i.e. maintaining my own schedule), I was able to complete schoolwork almost anywhere. As a result, I had the opportunity to travel while still finishing up school work.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:
I enjoyed the opportunity to learn from some experts already in the field. I feel that this was an excellent opportunity for me and I gained some great insight from what professors passed on to students.
I plan to use my degree to:
Well, I already have an excellent position as a Reference Librarian. However, my specific area of interest is Archives and Records. I would really like to pursue something in that specific field.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
Catching up on all my reading, knitting, and video games. I've been given some excellent suggestions for reading materials and I can't wait to dive in... I just have to decide where to start.
