What Our Graduates Say


"The group-work experience at SI was pretty important in helping me obtain my current position, because that is what employers expect us to do in the real world.

"What helped me get my position was the practical experience I gained working at the Bentley Historical Library. That was a big selling point for many employers. Another aspect that helped me get my job was the fact that many employers personally know the archives faculty here. I have found that my electronic records management skills were highly sought after by employers and have contributed to the overall success in my current position."
