Yalun Zhou

UMKC Friends of the Library Scholarship

IPhD Student, Instructional Leadership & English

Excerpt from Yalun's essay: 

"When I read this topic, an emotional sentiment swept over me. It provoked me to recall my years at UMKC and how I grew from a novice to an expert in making the full use of libraries. UMKC’s libraries, especially the Miller Nichols Library, will always be my intellectual and spiritual home."
