SJSU ASIS&T Executive Committee Spotlight on Violet McCrigler

What is your role on the Executive Committee team? 

I’m the Social Media Coordinator, which means I help spread the word about our organization, programs, and events via various social media platforms.

What is your focus/pathway during your time at the iSchool?

I’m doing the Youth Services pathway. I am passionate about early literacy and helping young people become lifelong learners and library users. However, I currently work in a University Library and really enjoy it, so I appreciate being able to take a wide variety of courses and sample the breadth of what our program has to offer.

What do you enjoy about being on the ASIS&T Board?

I love working with such a friendly, organized group. I also enjoy being a part of planning events, because ASIS&T webinars were some of the first programs I got to enjoy as a new iSchool student.

What are three fun facts about you?

  • I had rainbow colored hair for over a decade.
  • My path to library school has been a winding one, including eight years spent as a catering coordinator.
  • I love making things. When I’m not studying or working, you can often find me knitting, sewing, or working on mixed-media pieces.
