The international undergraduate student population at U-M makes up around 17% of our undergraduate community. To uncover their unique perspectives, U-M library conducted the first campus-wide survey in 2023. As a Michigan Library Scholar and an international student myself, I gained valuable skills and insights into my peers' experiences with the U-M library system, revealing some remarkable findings.

The Shadow and Light project seeks to memorialize Iraqi academics who were assassinated between 2003 and 2011. This summer we worked on curating the Shadow and Light materials to be displayed in Hatcher Graduate Library and creating an accompanying online exhibit.

I was a Michigan Library Scholar during the summer of 2023 in the "Gamified Directions to the Library" project. Our aim was to create an aid for students to learn to navigate the library, so we made a prototype for a video game. In this blog post, I detail my journey as the Art and Story lead for the game "Hatcher Haunts."

I was a Summer 2023 Michigan Library Scholar in the project “Gamified Directions to the Library: Developing a Training Module.” We developed an educational video game that taught users about navigating Hatcher and different library services. In this project I mainly worked on a mini game where users were asked to interact with the physical space, and a pamphlet that had all important navigation and service information and could turn into a 3D paper model. I gained a lot of new perspectives on how to interact with the physical and how to present it through media like video games and papers.
