Here at our remote Team Awesome bunker, we’re reflecting on the people who make us so great (spoiler: it’s the GAs). You’re already familiar with their hard-working, tech-supporting, can-do attitudes. Now we pull the curtain back a little bit further so that you can get to know them better. Today, we’re featuring second-semester-first-year student Clelia Sweeney. When she graduates, she plans to get a job in public librarianship.
Where are you from and what’s your favorite part about it?
