>> Tracee Haupt: Hello, my name is Tracee Haupt. I'm graduate student at the University of Maryland completing a master's in American history and a master's in library and information science. My junior fellowship project was with the John W. Kluge Center working on alumni engagement with my mentor, Janna Deitz, and another intern, Julia Bliss. The John W. Kluge Center was founded 20 years ago as a way to invite scholars from all over the world to the Library of Congress. During their residency, Kluge fellows have access to the resources of the world's largest library for their research. And they are encouraged to engage in conversations with policymakers and the general public about challenges the world today. The Kluge Center has hosted nearly 1,000 scholars as fellows or department chairs, representing a diversity of perspectives and academic interests. The 20th anniversary of the center is an opportune time to look at the big picture of who these incredible scholars are and what they've accomplished. The Kluge Center is also interested in creating more of an alumni community where past scholars can stay connected to the center and also engage with current scholars and alumni. The first of [inaudible] goal was to compile all the information that we already have about Kluge scholars into an easy to search database and double check that the information that we have is still accurate. The second step was to create a survey to find out more about our alumni and also to ask them directly how we can better serve them and in what ways they might like to be more connected to the community that we are building. A third step was to create a profile template that the Kluge Center can use to highlight past scholars and to find out what they're working on now. And finally, I'm creating a video, an infographic, about the work I've been doing for virtual display day. The project has given me viable experience in outreach and engagement, which will be an asset to my future career as a librarian or archivist.
