Shout-out for Adebola Fabiku

Adebola Fabiku

Over the past few months the Libraries has hired a number of new colleagues and throughout the organization we're helping them to get oriented. As part of the onboarding process in Access Services, Adebola created a thoughtful "buddy" system that pairs a new colleague with another departmental colleague with the goal of providing structured support for the new person. She shared this buddy system with some other interested managers and we've adapted it for new colleagues in Research Engagement. From the buddy system it's clear that Adebola has put a lot of thought into how to help build connection for new colleagues. The buddy process gives some structure for the new person who has a designated colleague they can turn to for questions, advice, and support. Thanks for sharing the "buddy" approach, Adebola!
