Liz Roepke ’15 will join the Collins Library team in the fall as the first Peer Research Advisor, a new position designed to provide extra support to first-year students. Liz took time out of her busy schedule to answer a few questions:
What excites you most about the new Peer Research Advisor position?
Students (especially first-year students in seminars) will have another resource in the library to help them in the research process. I hope to be an approachable, knowledgeable resource for students in every grade at every step in their research – from picking a topic to putting the finishing touches on a paper or poster.
What are you most looking forward to once you begin your work as Peer Research Advisor in the fall?
I’m looking forward to helping students feel more confident in their research skills, comfortable with different citation styles, and knowledgeable about all the different resources available to them through the library, both online and in print. I also look forward to hearing about all the research Puget Sound students will be exploring – I’m excited to learn what they find!
Congratulations, Liz! We look forward to working with you!
