Rodney is particularly proud of the impact the library has had on the WSSU students. "Students are valued and given many opportunities to building their knowledge and enhance their skills," Rodney said. "They study, work and mature through the opportunities offered by the library staff. Additionally, at least IS student employees annually perform traditional library assignments while others have the chance to com plete career related internships in media production and the university archives." Rodney was instrumental in founding the Friends of the Library organization and estab lishing the library endowment that provides additional funding. She has also been at the forefront of preserving the history of the uni versity and library even compiling a book, "Friends Inviting Friends: twenty-five years of friend-raising" to share her experiences with others.
