Congratulations Yamila and Annabelle, Space

Congratulations Yamila (and Olivia and Annabelle)
Congratulations to Yamila who received an ALA REACH 21 Scholarship to attend the 2010 Spectrum Leadership Institute at in Washington last week. The Institute brings together library students and graduates from across the country to network, learn models of cross-cultural leadership, reaffirm professional values grounded in service to diverse communities, develop career skills and connect with a wide-range of leaders and potential mentors. Olivia Baca, a former Knowledge River Institute Intern at AHSL, also received a REACH 21 scholarship. Annabelle served at the Institute on a panel designed to help attendees sharpen their interviewing skills during one of the sessions.

Library Space
As requested by the Advisory Committee on Library Space and Dr. Crist, the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Leadership Group has given us a document supporting the recommendations of the space committee report. Their document says, among other things, that providing a variety of meeting rooms will be helpful to IPE. This should strengthen the case that we’re making to Dr. Crist. It appears that we will be getting another request to turn the 4th floor into offices next week. By then Dr. Crist will have the IPE report and another statement from us on the importance of keeping the library as an educational space.
