Travis Nykaza, a Scranton native, began his work here in June of 2011, just days after graduating from Scranton Preparatory School.\u00a0 He was eager to begin working and got a good head start working with us all summer before his freshman year began.\u00a0 He has faithfully continued his tradition of working every summer since then.\u00a0 Those summers included several \u201cshifting\u201d projects in the stacks that most student workers just hear about later.\u00a0 Of course he has put in many hours during the Academic years as well.<\/p>\n
Although his family is just across town, he lives on campus in order to get the full college experience.\u00a0 However, having his family nearby allows him to visit his parents and his beloved cat \u201cSnowball\u201d often enough.\u00a0 In his spare time he enjoys chess, writing, watching movies and reading.\u00a0 Some of his favorite movies are Interstellar, Twilight Samurai and Spirited Away to name a few.\u00a0 His favorite books are A Song of Ice and Fire Series, Dune, Ender\u2019s Game Series and Shogun.<\/p>\n
The thing he loves most about working in the Weinberg Library is that he gets to interact with people from every level of The University community.\u00a0 Working in the Library has helped him to learn more about the many services the Library has to offer.\u00a0 His advice to other students is to explore the Library\u2019s web pages and the building itself.<\/p>\n
Travis is majoring in Education with a concentration in English.\u00a0 After his 2015 graduation, he hopes to find a job teaching at the Middle School level.\u00a0 He enjoys the classroom experience so far and loves to tell the tales of interacting with the young people he meets.\u00a0 This semester may be his last time working with us.\u00a0 He will spend spring 2015 student-teaching.\u00a0 We\u2019ll miss him and look forward to the occasional visits and stories of student teaching.\u00a0 Thank you Travis and good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
