a lot of time to think about this opportunity and meet with the wonderful EDI team who is very team-oriented and passionate about working together. This is not a lateral move for me and takes me out of libraries and librarianship, and I am genuinely looking
forward to doing more EDI-focused work with staff and faculty at TCC. I am scared, but I am also excited to have a chance to do this work and be a part of this team.</p>
