Sam Russell (MLIS 2017) - Co-President
73russells@cua.edu
Library Technician
The Government Publishing Office
Sam moved to Washington, D.C. from Georgia to pursue a Master of Library and Information Science, which he received in 2017. He currently works as a library technician at the Government Publishing Office. Before working as a library technician, Sam worked in Mullen Library as a Graduate Library Pre-professional. He is very excited to have been married this past October to a lovely woman whom he met at The Catholic University of America! One of his goals for the board is to strengthen the connections between the alumni and the university in an effort to help CUA LIS reconnect and engage with their program and Alma Mater. Please feel free to contact him if you have any ideas you would like to bring to the alumni board.
Hannah Jones (MSLIS/MA 2019)
Member of the Board, Mentorship Program Lead
50jonesh@gmail.com
Hannah completed a dual masters program at CUA in 2019, earning her MLIS as well as an MA in Medieval and Early Modern History. She currently works as a Cataloging and Metadata Librarian for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where she is excited to be cataloging materials for the library's Special Collections as well as its main stacks. She has also recently begun a new masters program in "Texts, Technologies, and Literature" with the English department at UMBC, a program which she hopes will allow her to continue engaging with her research interests in early modern print culture and the Digital Humanities. One of her main interests as a member of the alumni board is the mentorship program, which she sees as a way to foster ties between the CatholicU LIS alumni community and the current student body.
Katherine Defonzo (MSLIS 2021)
Member of the Board
defonzo@cua.edu
Katie is a recent alum, having graduated from CUA's joint program in History and LIS in the summer of 2021. While enrolled, she served as Graduate Library Preprofessional (GLP) in the Semitics/ICOR Library on campus, gaining insight and experience in her area of interest, digital archives. Currently, Katie works as an archivist for History Associates, a consulting firm located in Rockville, MD.
Patricia A. Kidd (MSLIS 2001)
Member of the Board
Patricia A. Kidd is a 2001 graduate of Catholic University School of Library and Information Science. While at Catholic Patricia focused on Law Librarianship. Patricia has had an exciting and stellar career in academic law libraries, law firm libraries and l University and Community College libraries. In the last few years, Patricia has focused her career in special collections, concentrating on African American History Collections, Church History Collections as well as others. While working in academic libraries is important to Patricia, working as a library consultant is slowly becoming her niche. In addition to duties in libraries Patricia has been teaching for UMGC since 2011, First Term Experience courses for Undergraduate and Graduate, teaching and enhancing library and critical thinking skills. Patricia is a true excavator of information who dances to a unique beat. Patricia was also a member of the 2005-2006 Library and Information Science Alumni Board. Patricia thinks that it is important to use her presence on the board to keep the voice of Black Alumni alive and to help recruit other Black Students into the field of Library and Information Science via an education from Catholic University of America. Patricia currently concentrates out of Florida and Texas.
