Dawn Behrend
Dean of University Libraries
Associate Librarian

I’m a library administrator driven by a deep passion for the transformative power of libraries and librarianship. As a second-career librarian, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective—rooted in advanced degrees and professional experience in psychology and business. I’m especially committed to advancing information literacy, supporting students and faculty in achieving their research goals, and contributing to the evolving library science conversation through scholarship and practice.
