I believe having an MLIS will allow me to access a wider pool of professional positions, such as those within academic libraries.
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My family and friends! Big shoutout to the Ali, Austin, Garden, Gifford, McMinn, and Vazquez families out there that saw me through all the tough times.
While in the program, I met classmates from:
All over the world! There were many in the United States, but I met someone living in Spain!
What I liked best about online learning was:
The thing I enjoyed most about online learning was that it was self-paced. I believe that life, professional and otherwise, requires many of the skills that I learned during this program. Motivation, concentration, and the ability to avoid procrastination were crucial to completing this degree and I am thankful to the SJSU School of Information for providing a way for me to improve myself in these areas.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:
I most enjoyed the sense of community that the School of Information provided to its students and faculty. We were like a little family!
I plan to use my degree to:
I plan to use my degree to increase the role of literacy within the community, as well as provide users with programming and materials pertinent to their needs. I aspire to serve the information seeking community with all of the respect, justice, ethics, and compassion that is due to patrons, regardless of their ethnicities, beliefs, appearances, sexual orientation, social standing, or any other factors.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
I am most looking forward to being able to say that I completed the MLIS program at SJSU! And applying that knowledge in a professional setting, of course.
