Elizabeth Lieutenant<\/em> I was initially motivated to obtain a master?s degree in LIS to enhance and legitimize my research abilities. While I will always be a researcher at heart, engaging with the broader professional LIS community has inspired me to pursue a career in academic librarianship.<\/p>\n My academic, scholarly, and professional experience and interests include higher education planning and assessment, student leadership development, academic librarianship, and critical and sociocultural theories. I envision librarians playing an integral role in redesigning higher education institutions to be more equitable, inclusive, and open learning systems. I aspire to bring my experience and passion to an academic library that is committed to advancing this vision.<\/p>\n NMRT provides excellent opportunities to become more engaged in ALA. Thanks to NMRT?s inclusive committee appointment process, I?ve served on the Shirley Olofson Memorial Award Committee and am currently a member of the Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table Committee. This leadership experience has enhanced my project management, communication, remote collaboration, and marketing abilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Elizabeth is set to graduate this May.
