CDO | Small Group Coffee Chats with Dean of U-M Libraries Lisa Carter


Lisa Carter (she/her)

As dean of libraries and university librarian at the University of Michigan, I lead and sustain the vision and strategy for a world-class library system in alignment with the university's strategy and vision. 

Among my current priorities are renewing library facilities; strengthening the library's organizational culture and antiracism and social justice practices; guiding planning, fundraising, and campus collaboration efforts; enhancing access to relevant and compelling content and collections; and cultivating the regional, national and international partnerships that facilitate scholarship and support the mission of the university and the library." - excerpt from "About me" section https://www.lib.umich.edu/users/lisarc/  


About Small Group Networking Coffee Chats
You will meet with Dean Carter for 30 minutes in a small group of other UMSI students.

Network and make connections! These small group meetings are focused on having conversations to get to know each other and build a relationship. Discussion topics vary and can include: career decisions, career journeys, or what skills an organization might look for in an intern/new hire.

CDO Tip: Be ready to share your story and your interest in a concise, confident way. Put your best foot forward by doing research about the organization beforehand and coming prepared with thoughtful questions.
