Student Employees Boost Copley’s Social Media

COPLEY LIBRARY | S COPLEY LIBRARY | IN-UPPORTING STUDENT SUCCESS PERSON AND VIRTUALLY

This is my second year working as a student assistant at Copley Library. After the pandemic happened, I began working remotely. In this new position, I enjoy using my creativity and artistic skills to create social media content. The posts I create are important for communicating with students about the library services offered, even in a remote learning environment. This fun job has been a great learning experience, and it has helped me with time management. Some of my projects included an Instagram Takeover and an organized Banned Books Trivia Night. I have learned to create a set time and space to work for Copley as well as keeping up with studying. In these times of uncertainty, I am learning new ways to keep myself on track and to stay productive. These skills that Copley has taught me allows me to be a better employee, and also a better student. - Abigail Hynes

Working as a social media content creator for Copley Library has not only been a learning experience, but it has been fun to participate in as well. As a chemistry major who is minoring in computer science and biomedical ethics, it is rare that I get to cross over into marketing and management. By being able to work with other student assistants and organizations on campus, I have had the wonderful opportunity of expanding my realm of knowledge. Whether that be running books clubs or making promotional videos, I have expanded my skill set that can be utilized for future employment. With that in mind, the connections I have made through Copley Library are priceless. This includes mentoring from supervisors, meeting different leaders of clubs on campus, and even just communicating with students in other departments. Copley Library is one of my favorite and most influential places to be on campus. - Kanuri Roundtree
