When she graduates in May, Samantha Fabros Lee will be one of the first students to earn an Information Science BS. Lee, a senior from New Jersey, is one of a rapidly growing number of undergraduate students who are majoring in the newly offered Information Science program. While just launched in the fall, the degree already has almost 90 students and Lee will be one of six students to earn an Information Science degree this spring.
Professor Jackson spent time with Lee explaining the diversity of the Library and Information Science classes available to her.

Lee knew she had finally found her place and declared the major as soon as it was available.
Lee returned to Jackson’s group in the fall of 2022 as a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergrad (REU) student working on research related to human-centered computing, which allows her to practice the user experience skills she learned in LIS 470 Interaction Design (an iSchool course).”
