My name is Katie and I am the instructor for this class. I am technically doing this blog late; so I am glad I don't get a grade. Haha.
I have a pretty extensive background in research. I was a history major here at Walsh (class of 2008) and started really learning how to research then. And then I got my Master in Library and Information Science (MLIS) from Kent State so I've been doing this for a while. I worked at the University of Akron for about a year and a half and now I've been a librarian at Walsh since 2010.
I have, however, never done research for an organization. I am a little daunted by this, but excited nonetheless. We have a real opportunity to make change for the Salvation Army.
My family also has a bit of a connection to the S.A. My father is an insurance administrator and one of the companies (in fact, the major company) that his insurance firm represents is the S.A. My dad even said that Major Boynton called him to say hello and that he was excited for this Walsh partnership after my initial meeting with him!
