    Moniz & Slaughter Receive 2018-19 H.W. Wilson Scholarships

    The LIS Program is pleased to announce that Hau驶olihiwahiwa Moniz and Stefannye Slaughter were selected as recipients of the H.W. Wilson Scholarship for academic year 2018-19. The scholarship is generously funded by the .

    Both recipients shared the following about themselves with the LIS Program:

    Hau驶olihiwahiwa Moniz:

    As a native Hawaiian scholar, I am passionate about advocating for the inclusion of Hawaiian perspectives and practices within the information field. This passion has encouraged me to research and develop traditionally-based, Hawaiian methodological approaches to collection management policies, Librarianship and culturally-specific community programming. I am also incredibly passionate about the development and implementation of cultural competency standards for information professionals working in or with indigenous collections, materials and communities.

    This scholarship will truly make a substantial difference in my time here at the University of Hawai驶i. Specifically, it will allow me to develop more practices and approaches within the information profession that will advocate for the inclusion of and value in Hawaiian perspectives and ways of knowing.

    Stefannye Slaughter:

    My journey into librarianship started when I was eight years old and a family friend who was a public librarian told me that I would be a librarian one day. I didn’t believe her at the time, but I do now and I’m happy to say that she has been instrumental in my education. The defining moment for me was when I was sitting in the Seal Beach Public Library in Seal Beach, California and I watched a librarian spend 15 minutes helping an older gentleman find a newspaper article he had read about a shuttle service for seniors undergoing surgery. That was the moment I realized how much librarians can impact the lives of their patrons.

    I would like to say thank you to the H.W. Wilson Foundation, this scholarship is allowing me to scale back on how much I have to work next semester, allowing me to spend more time on my studies.

  • Caroline Lee Receives Faith C. Ai Memorial Scholarship

    Caroline Lee Receives Faith C. Ai Memorial Scholarship

    Caroline Lee, an LIS student, has received the Faith C. Ai Memorial Scholarship. Caroline will be using the $5,000 award toward her tuition. She thanks the interview panel and board for selecting her. She said:

    Teaching high school students have been tremendously rewarding and dedicating my life to my school and students has left me with absolutely zero regrets. Trying to balance full time teaching, multiple school related organizations, motherhood and graduate school has been a daunting task. However, the LIS graduate program has been one of the best professional experiences of my life and I can only hope to show my gratitude by my continued commitment to serving our community as a future librarian and educator.

    This scholarship is dedicated to Faith C. Ai (1915-1997), who was a teacher, administrator, and a community volunteer who dedicated her life to public education. The scholarship is awarded to deserving students currently enrolled in an accredited American college or university who are undergraduates majoring in Education, graduate students intending to teach, or certified teachers who are pursuing graduate degrees.

  • H艒k奴 Ka驶aha驶膩ina Receives 2017-18 H.W. Wilson Scholarship

    H艒k奴 Ka驶aha驶膩ina Receives 2017-18 H.W. Wilson Scholarship

    The LIS Program is pleased to announce that H艒k奴 Ka驶aha驶膩ina was selected as a recipient of the 2017-2018 H.W. Wilson Scholarship, which is generously funded by the .

    Hoku shared the following about herself with the LIS Program:

    After seven years of college on the mainland, study abroad, and teaching English in Japan on the JET Program, I was feeling rather homesick. The next question was this: what would I do when I finally returned home? I驶m the kind of person who always needs a plan of action, so winging it upon arrival was definitely not an option. When trying to puzzle my future out, I saw one person who knew where she was going, and she was going there fast: my fellow Kamehameha Schools alumna Kylie Ka驶eo. Through her commitment to the community and her passion for libraries, I was inspired to pursue a degree in LIS like she did.

    Approximately one year later, I驶m in library school as a part-time student and thanks to the H.W. Wilson Foundation scholarship, I驶ll be able to move to full-time status for the upcoming academic year. When not in class, I can usually be found at work in the Richardson Law Library or 驶Ulu驶ulu: The Henry Ku驶ualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai驶i. Although my next goal is working in the local public library system, working in these different settings with a wide cast of characters is proving to be a great experience. It驶s funny how my life has come to revolve around libraries in such a short amount of time.
