Librarian funds new graduate study award

KU Libraries is pleased to announce the creation of the Carl and Margaret Husic Award to Support Librarianship in Less Commonly Taught Languages.

Funded by KU’s Slavic Collection Librarian Geoff Husic, the $1200 award will support graduate study in librarianship. The award honors Husic’s parents, Margaret Kelley Husic and the late Carl John Husic Sr.

The award, which will be announced in May, is intended for current KU students who have applied and been accepted to a graduate program in librarianship. Preference will be given to those whose primary interest is in foreign-language librarianship and Area Studies and who can demonstrate in their essay their intent to use their knowledge of Less Commonly Taught Language in their library career.

The application deadline is April 1. To learn more about the award, or to download an application, please go to: http://www.lib.ku.edu/linguistics/husic_award.shtml.
