Diversity Fellowship Program
The Libraries Diversity Fellowship Program was established in 2006 with the goal of preparing a new generation of academic librarians equipped to lead a transformation in academic librarianship while fostering human and academic diversity. Four recent graduates of master’s degree programs in library and information sciences have been appointed for a two-year term as visiting assistant professors, effective mid-August 2006.

The 2008-2010 Diversity Residency Program reflects programmatic modifications from the Fellowship program, but retains the same overarching goal: to encourage and promote the professional development and research contributions of entry-level librarians and to increase the rich diversity of professionals who will become partners in leading a transformation within the field.
