Karen Sternheim Scholarship Recipient

Colleagues,
 
It is my pleasure to announce that UCLA MLIS student Ashley Sands has been selected as the recipient of this year's Karen Sternheim Memorial Scholarship.
 
Ashley, who expects to graduate next June, hopes to work in a humanities-based research center, library and/or museum. She worked this past summer at a Middle Bronze Age archeological site in southern Turkey, and is particularly interested in bringing library and information-science skills to archeological excavation and research.
 
Ashley was honored at the chapter's scholarship fundraiser Oct. 17 at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, as well as at the chapter awards dinner Nov. 10 at the LA84 Foundation.
 
Please join me in congratulating Ashely, and in thanking my colleagues on the scholarship panel -- Rita Costello, Keith Gurtzweiler, Victoria McCargar and Norah Xiao -- for their dedication to the committee and its work.
 
Best regards,
 
Peter
