Alexandra Rivera

Rivera has been a champion for equality. One example is her leadership at the libraries of University of Arizona and now at the University of Michigan of the Peer Information Counseling Program, a peer education initiative for undergraduate students from multicultural backgrounds. The program has addressed the barriers to library access experienced by new students, historically underserved, minority students and other peer groups.  Ms. Rivera recruited,  trained, and mentored undergraduate students of color in this program who in turn worked with thousands of their peers.
