 Hello, my name is Tamara Cochran and I'm an MLAS candidate at the iSchool at SJSU and this year's recipient of the HW Wilson Foundation and Graduate Student Scholarship Awards. My time at the iSchool so far has connected me with a vibrant student community and I've been involved with the ASIS student chapter and the student research journal. The HW Wilson Foundation Scholarship stood out to me because of its connection to professional association and ongoing contribution to the profession. The Graduate Student Scholarship resonated with me as an award built by donation and a testament to the engaged community that exists around the iSchool at SJSU. It is with my sincere thanks that I accept these two awards for the 2016 scholarship year. The support of these scholarships is a meaningful contribution towards the completion of my MLAS with the iSchool at SJSU. Thank you.
