Master of Library and Information Science student Chris Sheehy has been chosen as the Summer 2003 recipient of the Spirit of Librarianship Award. 

The award, which is voted on each term by MLIS students, faculty, and FIMS staff, distinguishes Chris as someone others recognize as a friendly face in the program, someone who exemplifies the "spirit of librarianship" in his daily life through his positive and supportive dealings with others. 

A subcommittee of the MLIS Student Council established the Spirit of Librarianship award last term as a means of acknowledging and celebrating the personal contributions of a student to the Master of Library and Information Science program, outside of academics.  According to this term's winner, the award does just that.  "The Spirit of Librarianship Award is a great idea," Chris says, "because it fosters a spirit of camaraderie among MLIS students and helps us all realize that there is more to the program than just marks, but helping each other as well."
