 Hi, I'm Catherine Bunker. Thank you so much for selecting me as one of the special session scholarship recipients for fall of 2020. I'm so grateful to Dr. Main, Dr. Stenstrom, and the Awards and Scholarships Committee for this great honor. The scholarship funds will certainly help towards the cost of pursuing my degree at San Jose State University, especially considering that my two eldest children are currently enrolled in college and adding the additional cost of my program will be a financial challenge. Being awarded the scholarship has also given me a much needed boost in confidence as I prepare to start school again. The last time I was in school it was in person across the country in Maryland and over 25 years ago when I was pursuing my master's in art history between 1991 and 1993. So this fall I'm excited to start pursuing my MLIS with a focus in youth services while I simultaneously continue to work part-time as a library associate at a public library in Colorado. Thank you again for the scholarship. I am so appreciative.
