Posted: May 27, 2025
May’s staff profile highlight is Dot Winslow, our lone library staff member on the Santa Maria campus who makes sure everything runs smoothly for our CCPA students and faculty.
How long have you worked for the library?
Three years and two months.
What made you want to work in libraries?
I love knowledge, teaching, and helping others make a positive impact.
What do you like most about your job and about working for ATSU?
Getting to know people – colleagues, students, and other stakeholders – is my favorite part of the job.
What is a fun job you had before ATSU?
I taught poetry in the schools as a side gig during my last career, and I loved it. Seeing kids (K-12) explore language and their own minds, and having fun while doing it, is a treat to witness and facilitate.
What is a fun/unique/exciting tidbit to know about you, or how do you spend your free time?
I act in community theater!
