Undergraduate Library Advisors (ULA) Program 2023 - 2024

Abstract

The Undergraduate Library Advisors Program, which began in the summer of 2021, aims to boost undergraduate student engagement with the George A. Smathers Libraries by training a group of student leaders to represent, promote, and teach library services to their peers. With the continuation of the Undergraduate Library Advisors program, a new cohort of four undergraduate students was brought on board in Fall 2023 to carry on the previous cohort's work and goals, with a focus on increasing student engagement and library awareness through participation in orientation activities and events across campus. The cohort was instrumental in assisting with the tabling efforts, which successfully placed the libraries in spaces we hadn't been in before. In addition, the cohort created a range of content and resource materials to publicize new and existing library resources, services, and upcoming events.
