Sheila Paul Shedd serves as the Senior Director for Global Engagement & Corporate Partnerships in the Career & Professional Development Services division at Arizona State University.

Jessica Salow is currently an Archives Specialist at Arizona State University Library with the Community-Driven Archives Initiative (CDA) which was established in 2017 through the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She obtained her Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS) from The University of Arizona and is an alumna of Arizona State University. Her current work with the CDA team focuses on building relationships with historically marginalized communities (Latinx, Black, Asian & Pacific Islander, Indigenous and the LGBTQ+) in Arizona by creating intergenerational and intersectional safe spaces for people within these communities to acknowledge historical traumas. Our work in this space is meant to redefine the traditional definition and function of an institutional archive and bring to light archival material that has previously been overlooked by institutional archives.

He is the coordinator of the Federal Depository Library, located at the Fletcher Library on the ASU West campus.
