Marcela Fioramonti’s leadership journey began by recognizing an important need in her community: greater education and support around dementia.

Through WLI, she developed skills and confidence that helped her move from listening to action. She later founded Active Minds to provide resources, education, and support for individuals living with dementia and the families and caregivers who support them.

A look at one of our Fundamentals participants’ most anticipated experiences! 🎓
Our English and Spanish groups toured the University of Utah to learn about the benefits available to them as Fundamentals students, including a university's ID, and discover the library’s learning and creative resources.

We visited the podcast room, explored 3D printing, and learned about the library’s technology and tools. Those were just a few highlights of a tour that gave participants time to ask questions, explore new spaces, and learn together.

Experiences like this are part of what makes Fundamentals special: connecting with people and discovering resources that support learning beyond the classroom.
