Each day I was happy to have conversations with co-workers&nbsp;with different majors, areas of expertise, and backgrounds. The staff were very accommodating to my busy schedule&nbsp;for the three years I worked here. They knew that being a student came first and were always willing to work with&nbsp;me to further my knowledge. I truly enjoyed the research projects as they served as fantastic resume builders,&nbsp;starting early on in my college career. Although I plan to return in the fall, Hardin Library has been a fantastic place&nbsp;to work during my undergrad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to student assistant Joe Opferman, who is receiving a Bachelor of Business Arts in Accounting, May, 2021!
