Kent State University
From 2007-2009, I was one of the two first Gerald H. and Victoria C. T. Read Graduate Assistants appointed in the Kent State University Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives.
The merit-based award includes a stipend plus a tuition scholarship. It is given to a full-time library school student interested in special collections and archives who exhibits a high level of scholarship and academic excellence. Read more about the Read family’s generous gift here and here.
