Kaliyati’s new role as Coordinator, User Services, will focus on managing evening and weekend services to ensure students have a productive environment for late-night study. As a Bronco alum, Kaliyati is bringing his experience as a former student employee and supervisor to the role.

“Being on both sides helped me a lot because it makes it easier for me to assist students with whatever they need since I was in their shoes,” Kaliyati says.

As he starts his new position, Kaliyati expressed excitement about new challenges and responsibilities as a full-time employee.

“I like assisting patrons and working on projects to improve the library. I also like the overall environment of a library since it is a safe space for everyone.”
