Many college libraries have undergone transformation in recent years to serve as hubs for student success, offering a central location for students to hang out, work with peers and connect to support resources like tutoring. This reimagination of the library often comes with a physical reconfiguration, relocation of offices and expanded services, all in hopes of supporting access and student success.

In this episode of Voices of Student Success, host Ashley Mowreader spoke with Katie Clark, higher education market manager for KI and a former campus administrator, about the evolution of the campus library and what it means for students and practitioners. Later, hear from Marquette University’s John Su, vice provost for academic affairs and student success, and Lemonis Center director Marilyn Jones, to discuss how Marquette remodeled the Memorial Library to better support students.
