Life After Graduation: SIS Alumni Snapshot

“I was introduced to children's librarianship via the master's program at SIS, and I knew at once that I had found my life-long profession. My first job was to open an elementary school library. The program prepared me to tackle such a monumental task and I am proud to say that the library program is still thriving 8 years later.” Miranda Clark School Media Specialist Lecturer, School of Information Sciences
