Library Science Response: 1 of 1

Dear Robert Heaton:

Congratulations on your acceptance to the online Master of Science Degree Program in Library and Information Science in The iSchool [trendy shortening of “College of Information Science and Technology”] at Drexel University. We are pleased that you have chosen Drexel for your professional study and hope that you will find the program stimulating and challenging. . . .

AND

Dear Robert Heaton:

Congratulations on receiving an iSchool Part Time Dean’s Fellowship (Level 1) from the iSchool at Drexel University. Being selected as a Dean's Fellow reflects our recognition of your accomplishments. . . .

[FYI, Drexel University is in Philadelphia, but if I go on to complete this degree (which would require getting a job and, ideally, one related to library science), it would be completely online. Drexel’s program is rated 9th nationally by U.S. News, 6th for digital librarianship, which would be one of my specializations.]
