From Life to Desk: Transferable Skills from Unlikely Places
Thursday May 28, 2026 1:15pm - 2:15pm CDT
Community Room
Open Zoom

Past experiences often define who we are today.  Our past has led and shaped each of us into the person we are now, but no one shares the same path in life.  Differences in backgrounds are what make each of us unique in our daily lives and future pursuits.  Today we'll hear from three individuals working in the same field of information science, each with very different pathways that led them to where they are now.  Bryn Murphy, Joanna Tuskey, and Riley Vagis share more about their individual pathways and stories and discuss the skills they have learned and utilized along the way in their professional pursuits.
