I was pleased to get an email today announcing the winners of various annual awards from NASIG. NASIG generously gives out several different awards, but the highlight for me has always been the award for current Master’s level library and information science students. NASIG gives out several of these each year, and I was fortunate enough to be selected for one of them way back in 1991. Another highlight for me is the Mexico Student Grant Award, which I helped establish. This year’s crop of award winners includes a woman in the LEEP curriculum at my alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Congratulations to all the winners!
