Leah Boulos, MLIS student and Kellogg Library intern, was selected to receive the Dalhousie Horrocks National Leadership Award. The annual scholarship is awarded to an MLIS student who “demonstrates leadership potential in information management, specifically in libraries. The goal of this award and associated lecture series is to help promote librarianship and publicly acknowledge individuals whose active leadership in relevant professional associations has made a difference locally and internationally.”

In addition to her great work at the Kellogg Library, Leah has co-chaired the Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management for the past two years. “Winning the award has given me the confidence to discover my potential as a leader. Since then, I’ve taken on a teaching assistantship in the School of Information Management, and presented at the Information Without Borders conference February 10. I am so honoured to have been chosen as the winner of this award, especially considering all of the wonderful things I’ve heard about the late Dr. Norman Horrocks, whose life and career serve as a great inspiration to many of us within the field. I wish I could have met him,” said Leah.

Congratulations from all of your colleagues here at the Dal Libraries!
