Oberlin
College Diversity Intern Program
Oberlin College Library has been awarded a National Leadership
Grant from the Institute of Museum
and Library Services. The grant funds a two-year project to
establish a program for recruiting students from diverse backgrounds
into the library profession by offering undergraduate fellowships
and graduate internships in combination with mentoring by library
staff and work experience in the college library. The Library's
Diversity
Committee worked with other Library staff and with other campus
offices in designing the program and writing the proposal, and
will continue to work on the project as it comes to fruition.
Committee members served as the review committee for applications
and will work with other Library staff in continuing further design
of the program and in mentoring of the fellows. The second group
of undergraduate fellows began work in February 2002 and will
complete the program in January 2003.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services,
a federal agency that fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime
of learning, supports the Oberlin College Library Diversity Intern
Program.

College Diversity Intern Program, please contact Heather
