Student Library Council Board

I’m pursuing a math major in the college, Class of 2027, from Manhattan and serve as Chair of the SLC. I decided to join the SLC because I have a deep appreciation for books and learning. I help plan events to help the Georgetown community engage with library resources. My favorite spot is Lau 5 cubicles. Please reach out if there are any changes to the library you'd like me to advocate for or represent!

Catherine is the Communications Chair for the SLC. She is a junior in the SFS studying International Politics. Catherine is from Philadelphia where she works in an independent bookstore. She joined SLC because she grew up loving her local public libraries. You can find her on Lau 3, by the big windows.

Philip Szczechowicz is a junior in the McDonough School of Business, double-majoring in Finance and Operations & Analytics. As treasurer of the Student Library Council, he manages the SLC budget and brings a student perspective from his work at Lau. His favorite feature of the library is that patrons can borrow equipment for free. Outside of being involved in the SLC he is a Member Service Representative at GUASFCU, tutors with FGI, a mentor for BUILD, a part of PwC Smart Start, and in GSP.

Hi, I’m Reeba, a second-year English MA student (’27) from Brooklyn, New York. I joined SLC as the corresponding secretary because bridging gaps between the library and students is important. My favorite library feature is Interlibrary Loan for its amazing research access, and I use it all the time! I also serve as GradGov’s deputy chief of staff, where I help support student initiatives and work to strengthen access to community connections.

Basia is a sophomore in the SFS majoring in International Economics, originally from NYC. She serves as the Membership Secretary on the Student Library Council and joined because she appreciates libraries for how they make knowledge more accessible. As the Student Library Council's Membership Secretary, she loves how libraries make knowledge accessible to everyone. Her favorite place to work is the fifth floor of Lau because of its big windows (and conveniently, it's also where the SLC meets). She's especially grateful for Georgetown's librarians, who are very supportive and knowledgeable. Outside the SLC, Basia enjoys fencing, swimming, and writing for The Georgetown Voice.

Noor is a junior in the School of Foreign Service, majoring in Regional and Comparative Studies with a focus on Europe and the Middle East, minoring in Music, and pursuing the Pre-Med track. She serves as the Vice Chair of the Junior Class on the Student Library Council. Noor joined the SLC to give back to the Georgetown library community and advocate for the needs and experiences of fellow students. Coming from Arlington, VA, she enjoys reading, music, poetry, and embroidery in her free time. When she’s not in class, you can usually find her in Blommer or on Lau 2.

Blake is a sophomore studying Public Policy in the College, serving as Vice Chair for the Sophomore Class on the SLC. Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, he now calls Seattle, Washington home and enjoys visiting the national parks nearby. In his free time, he plays pool, badminton, and table tennis with friends. Blake likes studying on Lau 2, with its lively atmosphere and discussions, and looks forward to helping students access the library’s resources!

Jac Rusher is a second year English master's student. Expected to graduate in 2027, they have an interest in literature and philosophy in the Victorian period. Jac grew up in San Diego, California, but spent that last four years in Northern California getting their BA in English at UC Davis. As an English major, all they do is spend time at the library and can be found losing their mind in a private study room or roaming the stacks. Jac believes that the library is an extremely valuable resource for all students and wants to raise awareness for all the fun stuff the library has to offer! Their favorite feature in the Georgetown library system is simple but invaluable: interlibrary loan.
