Rebecca Kohn

It was a pleasure to have Robyn as an intern. She is an excellent writer and the instructional materials she created to use with information literacy classes were very well designed. She has a personable and professional manner at the Reference Desk and with students in a classroom setting. In addition to her impeccable work ethic and organizational skills, her intuitive nature and keen observation skills make her a valued contributor and colleague.
