The iSchool’s Itza Carbajal is one of 14 graduate students from across the nation who were recently selected to receive travel scholarships to attend a conference on preserving digital news content.

One of the School of Information’s own graduates has returned as the director of career development.

Beth Hallmark brings more than 20 years of experience as a hiring manager and communications leader to the iSchool. She joined the team in September from Austin-based Hanger Inc., where she was director of public relations and communications.

Seven new directors have taken the reins of the iSchool’s official student council, the Student Association of the School of Information (SASI).

From social events to museum visits and information sessions, SASI’s mission is to promote a sense of community within the iSchool and foster professionalism and leadership within the student body. The group also serves as a link between students and the administration of the school and the university.

Barbara Immroth, a professor renowned for her research of children’s libraries and literature, has retired. 

A faculty member of the School of Information since 1980, Immroth won numerous state and national awards for her service to the library field. She has also shaped the careers of librarians throughout Texas and the United States.
