 Are you starting to feel festive with the holidays and the end of the semester approaching? Let's take a minute to celebrate SJI's iSchool with a September, October, and November recap of news and blogs featuring news, career blog, Siri blog, iSuean blog, Mara blog, and the Kara blog. The news in the fall held many exciting stories to share, including scholarships, faculty, alumni, always making waves, and the COA election sweep. Let's read some student success stories because who doesn't love those? Please join me in congratulating Diana Irvay with the Graduate Equity Fellowship Award. She was selected for Academic Excellence and Commitment to Community, and these three students all received the CLA Scholarship for Minority Students in memory of Edna Yelland. Shout out to Monica Vega-Latona, Brandy Ville, and Myra Fentes. In addition, Madeline Dickerson received the Julia C. Blitzer Scholarship for an essay she submitted that landed her a chance to travel to the Ariel Fall Forum, and here she is pictured on the left at the forum. The faculty have been busy putting a lot of books on your wish list, including Dr. Anthony Bernay, who released an updated version of his influential book Transforming Young Adult Services to further address the core question, how should LIS envision its YA users? And Dr. Michael Stevens, much anticipated wholehearted librarianship is now available. The book explores leadership with heart in the field of librarianship. In addition, the Emerald Publishing's 26th Annual Literary Awards recognized Dr. Michelle Chen and Dr. Pat Franks with the prestigious Highly Commended Award, and alum Emily Kuhn was celebrated with an outstanding paper award. And an exciting iSchool alumni and student sweep at the CLA 2019 election.
