Each applicant will need to answer the following question in 500 words or less. The student who receives the award will be asked to write an entry for the ACRL/DVC blog about their ACRL Conference experience. The deadline to apply is March 3, 2017. Submit your entry to Martha Stevenson, stevenson@kutztown.edu.
