Hey everyone! My name is Haley Walsh and I am a third-year co-op student studying Speech Communication and Business, with a minor in Public Policy and Administration. When I graduate, I would like to join the public service and pursue a career in government communications.
This term, I have the pleasure of working on the Library Ambassador team. I have relied on many of the services and resources at University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Library throughout my undergraduate career, and this position seemed like an amazing opportunity to express my gratitude and help promote student engagement! From my first day, I was welcomed into a positive work environment, supported by other Ambassadors and library staff.
In my first month on the job, I answered questions in the lobbies of Dana Porter and Davis Centre and attended a variety of campus events. These were great opportunities to meet other students and support the university community. One other aspect that I have particularly enjoyed is the term project. To promote student engagement in University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ residences, my fellow Ambassador, Hinal, and I will be running a contest on October 4 to encourage first year students to visit both Dana Porter and Davis Centre!
I love everything about being a Library Ambassador. This position provides endless opportunities for you to meet students from all faculties, develop professional skills, and learn about the how the Library runs behind-the-scenes. For the remainder of the term, my goal is to further improve my public speaking skills.
Thanks for reading! Best of luck this term and I hope to see you around the library!
-Haley
