Congratulations to Rita Sausmikat and Laracarina Suarez, Friends of the University Library Scholarship Awardees!
Let’s hear it for Rita and La! As qualified recipients of the 2019/2020 Friends of the University Library Professional Development Scholarship, these future librarians are pursuing their studies in graduate library science programs. They have demonstrated potential for accomplishments in librarianship and each will receive a scholarship to assist with funding their education.
The scholarship recipients will also be recognized at a library ceremony in the Spring Semester 2020, where the recipients’ names will be added to a library plaque. We wish them success!
Thank you to the Scholarship Committee for their thoughtful work:

David Procházka has been uniquely busy this year.
Musikproduktion Jürgen Höflich published three scores with new introductions by David Procházka. For Darius Milhaud’s Cantate de psaumes (https://repertoire-explorer.musikmph.de/wp-content/uploads/vorworte_prefaces/4232.html), David tracked down a live recording that was only available at the Cleveland Institute of Music. He also wrote about Nikolai Tcherepnin’s 1903 ballet Le pavillon d’Armide (https://repertoire-explorer.musikmph.de/wp-content/uploads/vorworte_prefaces/4148.html) and Henry Hadley’s Symphonic Fantasia (https://repertoire-explorer.musikmph.de/wp-content/uploads/vorworte_prefaces/4119.html). For the last work, David had the Library of Congress digitize a recording of a 1938 performance by the Los Angeles Federal Symphony, which was broadcast and recorded as part of the Federal Music Project.
That’s quite a variety of accomplishments, David! Nicely done!
