Library Staff Profile: Debra Loguda-Summers
Posted: February 25, 2025
Our next staff member we are highlighting is our 3D Guru, Debra Loguda-Summers, who has been with ATSU for 24 years and the library for eight years.
Position title: Public Service and 3D Print Service Manager
What made you want to work in libraries?
I moved from being the curator at the International Museum of Osteopathic Medicine to the library for a change of pace.
What do you like most about your job and about working for ATSU?
I love using 3D printers and software to print learning tools for students and working with the faculty on their research projects. I enjoy interacting with my fellow library staff, visitors, and others on all the campuses.
What is a fun job you had before ATSU?
I have had many of the years including working at our local TV and radio stations, but I think besides working for the Museum, the next job I really enjoyed was working for Hanger Prosthetics/Orthotics. I was the office manager and I also did mastectomy fittings and other minor adjustments to orthotics or braces when needed.
What is a fun/unique/exciting tidbit to know about you, or how do you spend your free time?
I am the youngest of 10 children and a fraternal twin (my brother was seven minutes older). I love to cook and read, and my husband and I love to travel when we can. We currently have two cats: Abigail Louise (17 years old) and Pywacket (1 year old) Pywacket’s name comes from an old Jimmy Stewart movie, Bell, Book and Candle.
