The USF ALA Student Chapter of the Year nomination form was submitted last Friday. The Student Chapter of the Year Award is presented by the ALA’s New Members Round Table (NMRT) in recognition of a chapter’s outstanding contributions to the American Library Association, their school, and the profession. The purpose of the award is to increase student involvement in ALA through student chapters, and to recognize future leaders in the profession. This is the first time in the history of the USF student chapter that we have submitted a nomination form for this award.
The application included details of our 500% increase in total members for our student chapter since June 1st, 2010. We also increased the frequency and/or numbers in our Socials, After-Dark Lectures, and Brown Bag programs. The first Professional Association Membership Scholarships were distributed over the fall. We will give out the first Professional Conference Scholarships in the spring.
You can download our nomination form by clicking here. The ALA / NMRT Student Chapter of the Year Committee will announce the winner by March 31st.
The ALA student chapter would like to thank all of the members who participated and lead the improvements seen over the last year, which are detailed in this nomination form.
