Erica Rose, Instructor, Library Science

"Online learning affords me the privilege of sharing my passion for librarianship with students across the country and even the world. The online classroom celebrates the varied and unique perspectives of a wide variety of students. In many ways, online learning models the very work we are training students for: connecting people to the resources and information they need using the tools that fit into lives."
