Student Awards 2010
The Capital District Library Council's Seventh Annual Outstanding Student Employee Award ceremony was held Tuesday April 20, 2010 for a group of superb high school and college students working in area libraries.
The students were nominated by their supervisors for the high degree of excellence they have shown in serving their libraries. Speakers at the event encouraged them to consider pursuing a career in librarianship. High school and college students are eligible for the award based on these qualifications: excellent patron services and interaction with their colleagues; peer leadership; responsibility; attendance; initiative and interest in the field. Area libraries participate in this program voluntarily when they believe that they have a student employee who is deserving of special recognition.
In addition to the certificate, the students received a gift from CDLC. Accompanied by their supervisors and parents the students were honored at a reception following the event.
This year's awardees are: Brittany Barton, The College of Saint Rose; Olga Borodulina, Union College; Matthew Constantine, The Sage Colleges, Albany; Courtney Cozzy, Siena College; Elizabeth Dobbs, Round Lake Library; Brian Douglass, The Sage Colleges, Albany; Caleb Eick, Town of Johnsburg Library; Sara Hawley, Brunswick Community Library; Nicholas Iraola, Siena College; Jason Kibby, The College of Saint Rose; Michelle Lettus, Crandall Public Library; Emilia Strzalkowska, Union College; Melissa Sweeney, The Sage Colleges, Troy.
