 Hi, my name is Laura and I'm the proud recipient of the 2020 Global Impact Scholarship. I'd like to thank Dr. Mayne, the entire Awards and Scholarships Committee, and everyone else involved in the decision-making process. I'm honor and humbled not only to receiving this award, but to know that an award like this exists at all. It validates my own altruistic nature, which made me want to become a librarian in the first place, and shows that what information professionals do matters and they can make an impact and they can make a global impact. I'm so excited to further my education so I can be a part of that, and I'm so happy to have a scholarship so it can help me do that. I'd also like to say a special thank you to all of the information professionals out there who are doing so much more for this world than just recommending books, even though that's an amazing thing that they're doing as well. So I'm so appreciative, I'm so grateful, and thank you.
