Today we are celebrating one of our UCF Libraries superstars, Peggy Nuhn! Working as our CMC (Curriculum Materials Center) interim department head, the UCF Connect Librarian at Seminole State College, and the instructor of a credit-bearing course, Peggy is certainly an exemplary example of what it means to be a superstar librarian at UCF. Constantly leading with a kind heart and pure ambition Peggy has solidified herself as an integral part of UCF Libraries. We sat down with Peggy to see her journey through UCF, how exactly she got here, and what she enjoys most about her work as a librarian.
