Michelle Light (Libraries) was selected to participate in the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Leadership Fellows program. The 2018-19 cohort consists of 30 individuals from university research libraries across the country.
The program facilitates the development of future senior-level leaders in large research libraries and archives. During the course of the highly prestigious program, each fellow will construct a learning plan; engage in a customized, immersive experience to shadow a library director; participate in three week-long institutes hosted by sponsoring ARL institutions; participate in online synchronous sessions; and attend semiannual association meetings.
The association is a nonprofit organization of 123 research libraries in the U.S. and Canada. ARL’s mission is to influence the changing environment of scholarly communication and the public policies that affect research libraries and the diverse communities they serve.
