From Shealyn McMahon
This is Payton Schueller’s third semester as the Outreach student worker, and we are extremely fortunate to have her on the Outreach team. Without Payton, our capacity to generate media would be limited.
Payton is a kind, compassionate and hard-working person. She dons multiple hats at Murphy Library and executes each project perfectly. Her creativity shines through in her graphic design and photography, and she demonstrates meticulous attention to detail in editing images and had to master an entirely new program to accomplish this. Payton has curated books and resources for countless library guides and has helped immensely on displays around the library and at events.
Thank you for everything you do at Murphy Library! It is a privilege to be able to work with you.
