[Eril-l] Cynthia Graham Hurd Memorial Scholarship 2020

[Emily Esposito]

Dear Librarians and Library Employees,

Springer Nature is proud to honor the legacy of Cynthia Graham Hurd by sponsoring a scholarship for library employees to attend the virtual Charleston Conference.

Cynthia Graham Hurd was a librarian for over 31 years in Charleston public and academic libraries.  She worked as the branch manager of the popular St. Andrews Regional Library, and as a part-time reference librarian at the College of Charleston. On June 17, 2015, her life ended when a lone gunman entered the historic Emanuel AME Church and killed nine people during a prayer meeting. Cynthia is remembered as a "tireless servant of the community who spent her life helping residents, making sure they had every opportunity for an education and personal growth."

To apply for the 2020 scholarship, library employees are asked to submit a presentation document or PowerPoint detailing a project or initiative that made a positive impact on students and/or local communities. This includes empowering students, improving educational outcomes, supporting diverse research and learning needs, fostering volunteerism and community outreach, developing educational and advocacy programs, and more.

To apply, please send your submissions to emily.esposito at springernature.com<mailto:emily.esposito at springernature.com>. For more information, visit our website: https://www.springernature.com/gp/librarians/landing/hurd-memorial-scholarship

DEADLINE: October 23, 2020.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
Emily
