YukonU has appointed Wendy Sokolon as the university’s first University Librarian.
In this new senior leadership position, Sokolon will lead YukonU’s library in its continued development in alignment with our academic plan and our increasing research intensity.
Right now, Sokolon is creating a vision and a plan to expand the library’s capacity and resources to effectively support the growing and evolving needs of students, faculty, staff and researchers.
Sokolon has been a member of YukonU’s library team for almost two years.
You may recognize her from her former roles at the Yukon Archives, ATIPP Office, Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Whitehorse Public Library.
She is grateful to have had the privilege of living in the Traditional Territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta'an Kwäch'än Council for the past 17 years and is committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing herself.
