In today’s post, Abby Shelton interviews By the People volunteer and Youngstown State University student Julie Centofanti who has gone above and beyond! Julie started a Transcribing Club at YSU in 2020 to help fellow students fulfill a service requirement, build community, and have fun. She was one of two students to win a 2022 Charles J. Ping Student Service Legacy Award from a state-based community service organization for her leadership. Julie describes how the club came to be, what it has meant for students at YSU, and offers suggestions for how you might start a similar program at your school or organization. We are so glad to be able to spotlight Julie’s efforts and grateful for her contributions to the Library of Congress!
