 Hello, my name is Erin Robinson and I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Dr. Bolan, Dr. Harlan, Dr. Chow, the members of the Students' Awards and Scholarships Committee, as well as the iSchool faculty. It is a great honor to receive your generous special session scholarship for continuing students. The scholarship will help fund the expense of my education at San Jose State University. I am most grateful for your belief and support. I am currently pursuing the Digital Curation Career Pathway and the Digital Assets Management Certificate. I am in my final semester at the iSchool and I'm looking forward to graduating this May. This past year I've been involved in leadership roles for both the first generation student group and the Society of American Archivist Student Chapter. Working with my fellow students has been one of the most rewarding experiences at San Jose State University. By awarding me the special session scholarship for continuing students, you have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus on school. As a caregiver in a single income household, this has truly been a blessing. This act of generosity has instilled a greater sense of community in this program. When the opportunity allows, I would like to contribute back to the students of San Jose State University's iSchool. Thank you so much.
