Scholarship in Archival Studies
Autumn Reinhardt Simpson is the 2008 recipient of the Timothy L. Ericson Scholarship.
The School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee proudly announces the 2008 recipient of the Timothy L. Ericson Scholarship in Archival Studies: Autumn Reinhardt Simpson, a graduate student in the MLIS program.
When Simpson, a second-semester online student in the MLIS program, first saw an email notifying her about the Timothy L. Ericson Scholarship, she assumed it was bad news.
Congratulations to those students who completed their comprehensive examinations this spring! This semester, we have witnessed the highest number of students taking the comprehensive examinations, and the highest number of students passing the examinations. This exciting achievement speaks to the quality of students graduating from this program, and the quality of instruction they receive while completing their Masters of Library and Information Science degree. On behalf of all of the faculty and staff in SOIS, congratulations again on your distinct achievement!
