Meet our interns (Part 7) | Life @ OCLC

Our OCLC family has expanded for the summer! In May, we welcomed 20 interns from eight universities to our Dublin, Ohio offices, where they have made an impact in their departments. Over the last several weeks, we have shared a bit about them and their experiences at OCLC in this series. We have enjoyed seeing all that they have accomplished during their time with us.

Read on to meet the last four of our interns to be spotlighted.
