Colleagues,

I trust you're. Join me in welcoming Saint Augustine's University (SAU) alumna Ms. Tiwanna S. Nevels as director of library services for the Prezell R. Robinson Library.

Tiwana received a Bachelor of Science degree in organizational management from SAU in 2007. She also received a Master of Library Science degree from North Carolina Central University in 2009 as a Diversity Scholar.

Tiwana brings to this position a profound knowledge of libraries, with a deep passion for scholarly research, and a keen understanding of the centrality of libraries in today's colleges and universities. She has a unique perspective on libraries having worked at several HBCUs during her career. "Serving as librarian at HBCUs has afforded me a unique perspective into the African American experience. It has shaped the key values I possess in ensuring each student is equipped for success. "

Throughout her experiences in library management, Tiwanna has taken great interest in library assessment, libraries as maker spaces and patron driven customer services. She enjoys partnering with local agencies that yield quality initiatives, scholarship, and outreach programs in service to underserved populations with a specific focus on African American interests. She is a member of the American Library Association and a host of associations that speak to the enhancement of library services to everyone.

We look forward to supporting Tiwanna and to her involvement in HBCU Library Alliance activities.

Tiwana brings to this position a profound knowledge of libraries, with a deep passion for scholarly research, and a keen understanding of the centrality of libraries in today's colleges and universities. She has a unique perspective on libraries having worked at several HBCUs during her career. "Serving as librarian at HBCUs has afforded me a unique perspective into the African American experience. It has shaped the key values I possess in ensuring each student is equipped for success. " Throughout her experiences in library management, Tiwanna has taken great interest in library assessment, libraries as maker spaces and patron driven customer services. She enjoys partnering with local agencies that yield quality initiatives, scholarship, and outreach programs in service to underserved populations with a specific focus on African American interests.
