We welcomed back Rutgers University School of Communication and Information Professor Nancy Kranich to the LIS Program on March 7, 2023, when she spoke in Andrew Wertheimer’s Academic Librarianship class. Kranich served as ALA President in the year 2000, which was an important one for academic and intellectual freedom. She’s a respected national voice on issues of community engagement, intellectual freedom, diversity, and many other library issues. She previously gave a special address at LIS in 2016.
