Carol Sevin recognized as Professor of the Week
Carol Sevin, associate professor and science librarian in K-State Libraries academic services department, was recognized as the Professor of the Week at the Feb. 11 men's home basketball game. Faculty Senate, the Office of the President and K-State Athletics wish to recognize her contributions to K-State.
Sevin supports researchers through in-class instruction, workshops and research consultations. As a founding member of the Libraries' AI Steering Committee, she promotes public awareness and engagement with generative AI while fostering critical thinking and informed decision-making among its consumers.
Her research interests include:
- The role of librarians in science identity development.
- Inclusion and equity in makerspaces and libraries.
- How libraries and interdisciplinary initiatives address technical learning needs.
Before becoming a librarian, she taught chemistry, math and physics as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania and worked in youth development and informal science education at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
The Professor of the Week recognition is coordinated by Faculty Senate, the President's office and K-State Athletics. Recipients are faculty members selected by Faculty Senate caucuses. Those selected are provided tickets to a men's or women's home basketball game of their choosing and are recognized during halftime. This is just a small token of appreciation for those who teach at K-State.
