Shout-out for Cole Richard

Cole Richard

Anyone who has hosted a Zoom-based workshop or large group meeting knows how much work goes into setting up every little detail. I'd like to thank Cole for diving in as my co-facilitator for the Spring Academic Library Representatives meeting on March 28. He brought his own experience and perspective to plan for the logistics for how participants can get the most out of the experience, he handled the work of capturing highlights, comments, and Q&A during the session, and he cleared up all of the details afterwards like video editing, and linking important info together for sharing with the group. This was Cole's first experience co-facilitating this large group meeting and he did so with a level-head and confidence while keeping an eye focused on what impact these details would have on the participants and the presenters. I'm grateful to Cole for helping to showcase the Libraries as a partner to NC State's academic enterprise in this way.
