Testimonials
What I particularly enjoyed about being a part of this committee was how it brought together people who might not otherwise interact in a more casual context where they could get to know one another better, like the UNC-CH library staff and SILS students. Having strong mentors is something that is incredibly important to me, since I believe that there’s nothing like getting the perspective or advice of someone who was once in your shoes and is now practicing in your dream field. For me, knowing that I was helping facilitate these mentorship opportunities by bringing people together through the Programming Committee made my experience serving on a committee truly worthwhile and rewarding.

Being involved in LAUNC-CH has been great for me in so many ways. Their annual conference often has more interesting and useful sessions than many national conferences I attend – I love the chance to hear from and connect with library staff at UNC and around North Carolina. I’ve gotten to meet and work with many amazing people on committees, and they always have primo snacks at their socials and events!
