Minh Cao is this academic year’s Scholarly Outreach team graduate assistant. Minh, a native of Hanoi, Vietnam, earned a bachelor’s degree in Global Interdisciplinary Studies from Villanova University. She is enrolled in the Department of Communication graduate program.

As the Outreach graduate assistant, Minh works with Darren Poley, Outreach librarian and team leader, and Gina Duffy, library events and program coordinator.

Minh is interested in graphic design, photography, travel, arts and crafts, and languages.

Minh would like to work in public relations after she graduates. She says, however, “my priority is to find something that I love doing and find meaning in doing it.”

Poley says, “Given the ever-increasing number of events in the Library, having a graduate assistant who collaborates well with Falvey’s event coordinator, Gina Duffy, is necessary. Minh has been a competent and gracious addition to the Library’s scholarly outreach team. Minh’s familiarity with the campus community, due to her undergraduate studies here, has confirmed yet again how essential it is to have a graduate assistant for events and outreach with a connection to the intellectual, cultural and social life of the Villanova University community.”
