Congrats to the graduates of the Libraries’ first Project Management training. These twelve staff members started training with the Project Management team in October 2018 and finished in April 2019:
Alex Reher, Access Services
Allison Hughes, Friends of the Library
Brooke Peters, Libraries Human Resources
Carl Piraneo, Access Services
Cathy Dorin-Black, Special Collections Research Center
Dave Provost, Veterinary Medicine Library
Glenn Privette, Building Services
Katharine Frazier, Collections and Research Strategy
Lisa Madden, Acquisitions and Discovery
Megan Otto, Learning Spaces and Services
Ruth Gagliardi, Acquisitions and Discovery
Sarah Craig, User Experience
The training consisted of seven classes covering project management topics. Through the training experience, the cohort tackled problems such as opening the Hill Library’s Hillsborough Street doors, finding a way out of the Libraries Escape Room, and making a compelling pitch for a project idea. Guest speakers from the Libraries included Hannah Rainey, Chris Tonelli, Jacob Shelby, Bret Davidson and David Tully.
The feedback about the training was positive, and we hope to offer another project management training in the upcoming year.
