 Hello, my name is Elizabeth Borges, and I am the recipient of the Director's Award for Excellence in Building Community. I'd like to say a very big thank you to Dr. Maine and the rest of the Student Awards and Scholarships Committee. I am so grateful for this honor because community is one of the most important things in my life. To be honest, when I started at the iSchool, I was really nervous about becoming involved in the community. I had never attended school online, and I wasn't sure how to take that first step and get to know my peers and do things outside of classes. And now, fast forward two and a half years later, and the community is one of the things that I am most grateful for about my iSchool experience. So I'd also like to say a great big thank you to all of my classmates. It has been such a joy getting to know you. You are such interesting, intelligent, and passionate people, and you make me so excited to be a librarian and to keep meeting all the amazing people doing such incredible work in this field. Congratulations to my fellow graduates. We made it. I am so excited to celebrate with you, and I wish everyone the best of luck in their next steps in their new career.
