An Outsider Inside: A Louisiana State University Student at MAC 2015

---

Abstract

At the beginning of my last semester studying archives at Louisiana State University, the tough realities of the job search suddenly became very real. On top of the usual challenge of distinguishing myself from the dozens and dozens of other qualified applicants out there, I knew I wanted to find work in the Midwest, outside the circle of contacts I had made in the Southeast. As the saying goes, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” so I set out to the MAC 2015 Annual Meeting in Lexington, Kentucky, to get to know some of the people there. I am originally from Kentucky, so while I was coming home in a way, it was hard not to feel like an outsider knowing I would probably be the only attendee with Louisiana on my name badge.
