What's News

WLA Awards & Honors nominations are due September 15

 

""This is a reminder to consider taking a few moments to recognize a colleague or institution by nominating them for one of WLA's annual awards listed below:

WLA's Awards & Honors Committee streamlined the award process to make it more inclusive. Nomination forms are shorter and digital. Annual awards will now recognize the recipient's work within the past 18 months. Criteria has been made more clear for nominators and rubrics are currently being developed to provide feedback to all nominees.

More information about the awards can be found here. The deadline for nominations is September 15 and nominees do not need to be WLA members for consideration. Please take some time to nominate yourself or a colleague/institution - it goes a long way!
