Hi everyone, I’m Leona Vuong and I am in my 4A term of Honours Health Studies. This is my second term being a Library Ambassador. I was excited to return to the team for the fall term since the library hosts a variety of different events throughout the school year.

My name is Anna Quijano and I am proud to say I am entering my second term as a Library Ambassador for the University of Waterloo Library! I’m in my 2A year, studying English Literature and a candidate for a Bachelor of Arts honours degree. I absolutely love my job here because of so many reasons, but really what makes working for the library so great are the amazingly talented and kind people I work with.

The Davis Library renovation team has been working hard with architects from Walter Fedy and the Campus Advisory Committee. Guided by student feedback and the vision for the revitalized library, we have created a phase one plan that addresses the most critical issues.

So, what’s included in the plan?

It has been an exceptional year of transformation – with much more to come!

Following the departure of our University Librarian, two Associate University Librarians, 7 retirements, and in the midst of vigorous recruiting and numerous projects, everyone on the Library has been affected by – and facilitated – the many changes underway.
