Newsletter Edition: Fall 2020
Contributed by Gina Flores
The CSUN Library, fondly known as the heart of the campus, is tremendously thankful for the amazing student workforce dedicated to supporting our operation during the 2019/2020 academic year. Not only did our student employees make use of the Library's resources themselves, but they also helped to make these resources available to their fellow students, staff, faculty, and community members.
We are proud to virtually present our 2020 Outstanding Student Employees from each department of the Library! Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the Library, and perseverance to reach your academic goals. You make us proud, and we will always remember the joy and positive energy you brought to the Library family!
