The Residency is designed to accelerate professional growth and career advancement through a variety professional work experiences, mentoring, committee service and conference attendance.

"After graduation, I wasn't sure what area of librarianship I wanted to pursue.  The Residency gave me the opportunity to explore broadly across the different academic library career paths.  As a result, I was able to make the career choice that was right for me, and I had several offers when it came time to find my next position ."
