Sarah McCall, who joined the libraries in April 2023, supports undergraduate students through programming, library instruction, and one-one-one research consultations with the goal of increasing student support and retention. These priorities are near to McCall's heart -- prior to embarking on her own pathway to success as a non-traditional student, she experienced a rocky introduction to college life just after high school in her hometown of Emporia, Kan.
“Growing up, we did not have a lot of money and there was quite a bit of struggle throughout,” said McCall, noting there were times her family didn’t have a car or reliable utilities. “But in the midst of what felt like constant stress about money and bad luck, my parents did everything they could to support my love of reading. We walked to the public library several times a week and they would let me pick out two books a month to buy.”
