Steve chats with PeMento founders Lindsay Cronk, Maurini Strub, Ashley Krenelka Chase, and Rachel Fleming about what the concept of mentoring means to them, how PeMento got started, why they plan to keep PeMento in a perpetual “pilot” state, and what Steve’s new podcast should be called.

Lindsay Cronk is currently Assistant Dean for Scholarly Resources and Curation at the University of Rochester. She’s a passionate advocate and champion for libraries and library workers who served as first elected president of Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures, ALA’s newest Division. Her consortial work includes the creation of NERL’s Backflip model for retroactive open access. She’s more covered in tattoos and full of strong opinions than ever before.
Maurini Strub is the Assistant Dean for Strategy & Planning at the University of Rochester. She’s a storyteller who enjoys helping organizations tell their own stories about how they are working together to fulfill their mission while optimizing limited resources; and, about the impact of their strategic changes on the community (or institution)-at-large. As a systems thinker with years of experience in academic libraries, she has a strong understanding of the strategic levers that can scale strategic and user-focused initiatives.
Ashley Krenelka Chase is a former law librarian and current Assistant Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law, where she teaches research & writing. In her copious free time, Ashley writes about access to justice for incarcerated litigants, spends time pretending to be PeMento’s general counsel, and plays a lot of hide and seek with the Brute Squad (aka her three kids).
Rachel Fleming is Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where they manage the UTC Library’s Affordable Course Materials Initiative, support open campus publishing in UTC Scholar, and provide scholarly communications training and support.
