As Associate Director of External Engagement at the University of Michigan School of Information's Engaged Learning Office, Lori finds joy in connecting people with the information, services, and collaborations that will help them achieve their goals - primarily by connecting external clients with students who can apply the expertise they’re gaining in and outside of the UMSI classroom to real-world issues. She previously spent more than a decade building and sustaining community-focused programs at the Internet Archive, a non-profit digital library. Lori holds an MSI from the University of Michigan and studied Environmental History and Political Science at Boise State University. She enjoys spending time with family, carting her two kids around on their cargo bike, reading, and getting lost in the woods.
