For User Experience master's student Christina Turner, user experience starts with a person in front of a computer screen. "Everything's gotten so complicated online.... Everyone feels bad if they don't know how to do something on a computer. They really feel like they’ve dropped the ball. So I just do a lot more comforting people. Like, ‘you're not bad at this. This software is terrible. You're doing great.’”

Whether using their library and information science, user experience design, health informatics or knowledge management master's degrees, our alumni find careers as diverse as libraries, hospitals, online marketplaces, museums and more.

Each year the American Library Association selects student chapters who exemplify values of excellence, service and compliance, and recently Kent State’s ALA Student Chapter was selected as the runner-up for the award.
