Pronouns
He / HimTo acknowledge that assumptions about someone’s gender identity could be incorrect, many organizations, including NC State, have begun to encourage community members to include a brief statement of their gender pronouns as they introduce themselves within a group.

Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
A big shout-out to the developers who attended the Accessibility Fix-a-thon in Feb. 2026! Together, we identified errors, fixed dozens (hundreds?) of issues, and helped each other troubleshoot tricky accessibility problems. Thanks for a fun and productive morning — and for your dedication to digital inclusivity!

When the User Research Team was considering automated transcription tools to handle the dozens of interview recordings we create annually, Jon and Kevin helped to set up in-house transcription workflow using AI-powered technologies. They set this up in under 2 weeks. Not only that, but the transcripts were of higher quality than any of the other paid tools we tried. We're so grateful for their expertise and willingness to help!

I'm grateful to the complex and conscientious work of the Collaborative and Remote Work Task Force (CRWTF). They created outstanding guidance that is so well-organized and accessible! I revisit the Confluence pages on a regular basis, and consider them one of the most important foundations for our work. The guidance, tips, and examples for conducting hybrid meetings, setting up and implementing the onboarding process, and the advice for team building are incredibly helpful for all of us, most especially middle managers and project managers. The meeting free days and TL;DR summaries in each section of the guidance documentation represent the intentionality and care put into this work by this amazing team. Thank you to Hillary Fox, Kevin Beswick, Robin Davis, Mia Partlow, Lynn Whittenberger, and Jennifer Garrett for supporting our work through the Collaborative and Remote Work Task Force (CRWTF).
