Howdy! My name is Julia Sowders '20, and I am the Outreach and Engagement Librarian at the Texas A&M University Medical Sciences Library. I started my career with the University Libraries here at Texas A&M in 2007 as a staff cataloger and continued in that role for 16 years before taking on my current role in August of 2023.
As the Outreach and Engagement Librarian for the Medical Sciences Library, I am responsible for organizing library outreach activities including library orientations. I can also assist you with research projects and database searching.
