Rhoda Garoogian Memorial Scholarship

The scholarship is given in remembrance of Rhoda who served as Assistant Dean and later as Acting Dean (1989-1991) at a critical juncture in the program's history. Enrollment had dropped below 100 students and the School had been downgraded to a department. Library schools were closing nationwide at a rapid rate. In her brief two years, Rhoda doubled enrollment and reestablished SILS as a School. But Rhoda is most remembered for her many acts of kindness, accessibility, and dedication to students. Our Scholarship is given in her spirit that is so much a part of the SILS tradition.
