 Hi, my name is Rachel Syme. I am an incoming MLIS student at the School of Information at San Jose State University. I am really excited for the opportunity to receive the scholarship, and I just want to create this video as a thank you to Dr. Boland, Dr. Harlan, Dr. Chow, and the entire Student Awards and Scholarships Committee. I really appreciate all the work you do reviewing scholarship applicants, and I am so excited to use the scholarship to further my education and my career in libraries. I've spent almost all of my career so far working in libraries. I've worked in four public libraries, a news library, and a government biohazard library. In my current position as an acquisitions coordinator, I have realized I have so much to learn, and I'm excited to use the scholarship to set me on that path. I'm definitely nervous about going back to school, and the scholarship helps alleviate some of the financial burden for my family. So once again, thank you so much for your generous support and for your commitment to creating equitable access to education for all students. I really appreciate it, and I am so, so grateful. Thank you.
