CO-CHAIRS

Marta Crilly
Marta is a dual-degree Archives/History student. She grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee (a mere thirty minutes from Dolly Parton’s birthplace) and attended the University of Tennessee where she learned to love fried snickers bars, men’s basketball, and obnxious orange clothing. She is very excited to be working with Simmons SCoSAA this year!

Marti Verso
Marti is a dual archives/history student, entering her second year of the program. She originally hails from Buffalo, NY, which she strongly feels is the best place on earth. Marti would like to work in a museum setting eventually but is realistic and will take any job offered to her. She is very excited for this year in SCoSAA and all the activities we have planned!

The co-chairs:

• Schedule and moderate monthly meetings
• Coordinate events (field trips, workshops, panels) and volunteer opportunities
• Moderate SCoSAA e-mail acccount and listserv
• Act as student representatives to the archives faculty
• Attend GSLIS Orientation to speak with incoming archives students
• Order food for events

SECRETARY

Christina Thompson
Christina is a dual-degree archives/history student. She grew up in Kansas City, MO (Go Royals!) and attended Central Methodist University where she majored in history and overachievement. Her dream job would be working in a shoe museum thereby combining her love for shoes and museums.

TREASURER

Shannon Struble
Shannon is a dual-degree archives/history student with three classes and a thesis to go until she graduates (not that she’s counting or anything). She grew up in Michigan but moved east to attend Smith College, where she majored in history. She has a passion for rare books and would like to work in a rare books or special collections department after she graduates (in nine months!!). This is Shannon’s second year as SCoSAA’s treasurer, but she is looking forward to another great year with the group.

SOCIAL CHAIR

Stacie Williams
Stacie is a full-time archives student in her first semester. She was born and raised in Milwaukee and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, receiving a BA in journalism. She worked as a journalist for the past 10 years and lived in Chicago for much of that time. She’s very excited about working with SCoSAA and is hoping to use one of the most important journalistic skills in her arsenal–finding the best cheap food and drinks–to help bring everyone together! In her spare time she pursues her love of baconnaise, (James) Baldwin and boxing, but not necessarily in that order.

Kevin is a part-time Archives student in his first year. Kevin is new to the East Coast, having lived in the Midwest most of his life, but is getting used to taking his life in his hands when he hops on his bike in Boston. He is quite excited to support SCoSAA by serving as webmaster for the coming year.

ARMA REPRESENTATIVE

Dave is a dual-degree Archives/History student entering his second year in the program. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and attended Purdue University (which means he’s a Hoosier by Birth, but Boilermaker by Grace!). David hopes to work with a University Archives or a Presidential Library, but would honestly take whatever he gets. He is very excited to represent SCoSAA at the monthly ARMA meetings this coming year.

STUDENT/FACULTY REPRESENTATIVE – ARCHIVES LIAISON

Katharine Dunn
I’m a second-year student interested in working in both libraries and archives. I’m excited about the chance to report back to the student archives group (SCoSAA) some of what’s happening in the school (and vice versa). I also work for GSLIS as the dean’s editorial fellow.
