Associate Director of Creative Heidi Wiren Kebe is developing a reputation at Carnegie Mellon. At the University Libraries, she’s helped establish a robust exhibition program. She’s also traveled across the United States and internationally to develop and exhibit her own creative work.

Engaging Students In Community Data

For Data Education Librarian Emma Slayton, it’s critical that students at Carnegie Mellon have the opportunity to explore working with data in an organic, interesting, and community-based way. That’s why she created an interactive installation on the window just outside her office, allowing visitors in Sorrells Library to help shape information gathered about themselves and their peers.
