Our work study student profile today is about Abe!
Abe is from Lexington, Virginia, and is one of two UVA students we have working in the shipboard library. He is a 3rd year (that's a junior for the non-Hoos), majoring in history and foreign affairs.
His favorite thing about Semester at Sea so far is sitting on deck watching the ocean.
Her least favorite thing so far has been the food and internet access (or lack thereof). He started to day he was also frustrated at the lack of news, but then we sat down together and looked at Factiva's news service available through UVA with no internet charges, and he was much happier, and has been sharing how to access Factiva with library patrons.
What Abe likes most about working in the library is being surrounded by books, so he can read all the interesting ones he finds. He's not kidding about that, either. The picture below was taken before classes even started, and Abe was already well into his course readings.
Thanks, Abe, for being willing to be profiled.
