 Hello, Dr. Hirsch, Dr. Stenstrom, and the Student Awards and Scholarships Committee. My name is Lindsay Call and I wanted to thank you for selecting me as a recipient of one of the special session scholarships for incoming students this semester. I was thrilled when I found out the news and I wanted to take the time to personally express my gratitude to all of you. I'm especially honored to receive this scholarship as I'm relatively new to the library field. I only recently started working in a public library earlier this year after transitioning from a totally different career in digital copywriting and social media. I'm really loving working in the public library and I'm looking forward to learning about public libraries in particular at the iSchool. This scholarship will help me to pursue my master's in library information sciences and I'm really excited to progress in a field where I'm able to use my skills to help members of my community every day. Like I touched in in my submission, I can't wait to be able to ensure that members of my community have access to the resources that are most helpful and beneficial to them throughout my career. Learning more about the issues facing public libraries and public librarians is something I'm really looking forward to covering at the iSchool. Again, thank you so much. I can't wait to get started in the spring and if the open class I took is any indication of how the rest of the program is going to go, then I can't wait to start learning and achieve my MLIS from the iSchool. Again, thank you.
