 Hello everyone, my name is Morgan Roberts and I am a first year MLIS special session student currently going into my second semester. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Maine, Dr. Harlan, Dr. Bowen, the student awards and scholarships committee and Miss Luna for selecting me as a recipient for the 2023 special session scholarship for current students. I chose San Jose Estates MLIS program because of a variety of pathways and content areas addressed by the program. I am very interested in archives and digital materials and how we can use them to better the sharing and understanding of information. My scholarship application was about a multimodal and graphic narratives initiative that I began at one of my local community college as an access and instruction librarian. In this initiative, faculty and staff were encouraged to offer alternative assignments in the form of multimodal composition and to include comics and graphic novels as alternative reading materials or text materials in their classes. The initiative has been a huge success so far with English, Spanish and nursing faculty all making changes to their curriculums. Ultimately, I hope changes like these become standard to make learning more accessible and interesting for students and that we all continue to create and support lifelong learners from all walks of life. With all of the opportunities that the iSchool offers each semester, I hope to continue exploring the world of archives and digital materials along with any other subjects that catches my interest. I am so honored and grateful to have been selected for this award and to be able to share my ideas with others and in turn to learn even more from my fellow students and the iSchool staff. Thank you again to the student awards and scholarships committee. I am very much looking forward to seeing where the program takes me and to learning all that I can throughout the course of my library science degree.
