And DSAC members have represented the Libraries at university events and served on campus awards committees. This April, DSAC also had its first virtual meeting, and students thoughtfully shared the challenges and bright spots they\u2019d experienced in navigating an unexpected spring semester, as well as tips to help their peers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Dean\u2019s Student Advisory Committee members for your service to the Libraries and the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>2019-2020 Dean\u2019s Student Advisory Committee members (2020 graduates are marked with a mortarboard):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><font size=\"2\"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Field(s) of Study<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&nbsp;Year<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Cayce Anthony<\/td><td>Architecture and Design<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Arjun Banerjee<\/td><td>Political Science&nbsp;<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Elizabeth Cousins<\/td><td>Neuroscience<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Dustin Crowe<\/td><td>Plant Sciences<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Lisa Curtin<\/td><td>Information Sciences<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Alexandra Garnhart-Bushakra&nbsp;<\/td><td>History<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Meredith Goins<\/td><td>Information Sciences<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Heather Hall<\/td><td>College Student Personnel<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Amanda Herring<\/td><td>Nutrition<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44_5percent.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Mackenzie Hudgins<\/td><td>Psychology and Nursing<\/td><td>Senior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Sean Indelicato<\/td><td>Electrical Engineering<\/td><td>Senior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Chelsea Jacobs<\/td><td>Graduate Student Senate<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Austin Jones<\/td><td>Nursing<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44_5percent.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Jody Lynn<\/td><td>2D Studio Art<\/td><td>Senior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Emily McCutcheon<\/td><td>Information Science<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"75\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/volumes.lib.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mortarboard_black_75x44_5percent.jpg\" \/><\/td><td>Nick Mucci<\/td><td>Student Government Association<\/td><td>Senior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Gina Nguyen<\/td><td>Architecture and Design<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Tiffney Peters<\/td><td>Social Work<\/td><td>Graduate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Amanda Riggell<\/td><td>Theory &amp;
