LIS recognizes Suzanne Joseph for the 2023-2024 Student of the Year Award!

Joseph_Student of the YearSuzanne E. Joseph

Suzanne E. Joseph is recognized for her excellence not only in academic achievement, but also in her services to the Department and fellow students. During her time at CUA, she served as a student representative on the DLIS Faculty Search Committee, and on the ALA Accreditation Committee. Both committees are critical for strengthening the Department and MSLIS program, and it is important that students’ perspectives are considered. She contributed by sharing her thoughts on behalf of MSLIS students in these critical processes.

"I am delighted to accept this award. CUA’s LIS program is a hidden treasure in the School of Arts and Sciences. Few programs offer such varied coursework and practicum/internship opportunities, allowing students to hone their craft in the direction of their choosing. 'Networking' takes on entirely new meaning in LIS because of its supportive culture and because of how student-student relationships help forge professional connections and propel career growth."
