Great interactive resource from the University of Illinois and NCSAatIllinois to help schools make good decisions on reopening.

Calling on a diverse array of expertise, including right here at NCSA, researchers from University of Illinois are working to prepare schools and universities for a return-to-classroom. Read more about the projects underway here: ncsa.illinois.edu/news/story/ncs…

Proud of the work Victor Jones has done with diversity recruitment at the iSchool at Illinois. African American MSLIS students increased by 73% (19 in fall 2014 to 33 in fall 2020). Latinx MSLIS enrollment increased by 113% in the program (30 in fall 2014 to 64 in fall 2020).

Equally as impressive is the quality of those students. Of the 61 American Library Association Spectrum Scholarships for minority graduate students, 17 went to Illinois this year. The rest of the top-10 library programs (Illinois is #1) have 8 scholars between them.
