UNC Dissertation Program Receives State Recognition
August 13, 2019
The University of Northern Colorado’s Library Research Services Department and Graduate
School received the Colorado Association of Libraries’ (CAL) Library Project of the
Year for their free, multi-day program for UNC graduate students, “Dissertation Prep and Writing Intensive: You Are Not Alone.”
The award recognizes a creative and innovative project that furthers library service within Colorado. The goal of UNC’s program is to provide students an extended workshop with a supportive environment, comfortable space and dedicated time to make progress on their dissertations with advice from peers and experts.
Collaborators who made the program possible include UNC Associate Professor Jen Mayer, head of Library Research Services and Graduate School liaison; Interim Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Cindy Wesley; Professor Wendy Highby; and Assistant Professor Stan Trembach. The work of the entire LRS department and several Graduate School staff was and continues to be crucial to making this event a success.
