Congratulations!
Kristin Gahona Is the
2009 NJSLA Spaulding Scholarship Recipient
NJSLA is pleased to
announce that Pratt Institute student Kristin Gahona is
the recipient of the 2009 Spaulding Scholarship.
Gahona is a 2009 magna
cum laude graduate of Rutgers University with a degree
in American Studies and History/Political Science.
While at Rutgers she worked on the papers of late New
Jersey Senator Harrison Williams. After obtaining
her Masters Degree from Pratt, Gahona hopes to pursue a
career in archives and museum studies.
The NJSLA Frank H.
Spaulding Student Scholarship is named in honor of Frank
H. Spaulding, former president of both the New Jersey
chapter and the Special Libraries Association. The
scholarship is open to students who are currently
enrolled in a Masters level program in Library Science
at an ALA accredited library school and are New Jersey
residents.
Gahona will officially
receive the award at the NJSLA Annual Business Meeting
and Holiday Party on Tuesday, December 15 at the Rutgers
Club in New Brunswick. Please attend the
event and offer your heartiest
congratulations to her. The full text of her essay
on the topic “How will you position yourself for
career growth and how will SLA membership help you
achieve it?” is posted at http://units.sla.org/chapter/
