Lynda M. Kellam

Although I began serving in my current position in May 2007, I have a long history with UNCG. I graduated from here in 1997 with a B.A. in Political Science and International Studies. After graduating, I took a semester to travel in Russia and Great Britain before heading off to the University of Wisconsin, Madison for graduate school. I received my M.A. in Political Science in 2000 and soon after became a Fulbright student to Croatia. At the end of my term, I decided to return to Greensboro to enroll in UNCG's Department of Library Studies. I'm glad to be back and working with so many of my former professors and wonderful friends.
