Kendra Spahr, academic services librarian, Academic Services

Spahr has been the co-leader of the Developing Scholars Research Seminar since the fall of 2017. One of her nominators said, “Kendra’s individual work as a McNair Scholars librarian as well as with MAPS Bridges programs makes such a difference to the underrepresented and first-gen scholars who are part of these programs …The market research knowledge she's instilled in nearly 200 students each semester has helped them to succeed in the classroom as well as with startup ventures and internships with small businesses.”
