A team project investigating the impacts and potential gains from social media interaction provided a great opportunity with our communities. My team utilized online and direct interaction, as well as qualitative, quantitative and hybrid surveys. Impacts were captured based on increased footfalls, circulation and program engagement. I look forward to implementing these tools throughout my career.

We were forced to get creative. COVID presented unprecedented challenges to our profession and our communities. I believe that despite painful losses, our experience in the program and our profession as a whole ultimately benefited from facing and addressing the challenges.
