The NNLM National Center for Data Services is proud to announce their first cohort in the Data Internship program! The goal of the program is to provide graduate students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups with practical experiences and skills for obtaining data librarian positions. These paid internships offer opportunities to work with real life data and scenarios while working with a mentor in a guided environment. After a highly competitive application and external review process, three iSchool students from Region 5 were selected!!!

Please join Region 5 in congratulating these NCDS summer interns from Region 5:

• Maria Arteaga Cuevas from University of Washington’s iSchool – Data Curation Network, Data Curation Project
• Dev Wilder from University of Washington’s iSchool – NYU Health Sciences Library, Evaluation Data Project
• Silvia Wu from San Jose State University’s iSchool – NYU Health Sciences Library, Evaluation Data Project

Congratulations Maria, Dev, and Silvia; we can’t wait to see your completed projects in August 2022!!!
