ALA announced its class of 2020 Emerging leaders, and two SC&I alumnae who earned Master of Information degrees in 2019 have been selected for this honor.
Frank Educational Gilmore, who graduated from SC&I in 2014 after serving a 10-year prison sentence, is the founder and CEO of the Educational Gilmore Community Learning Center, where children K-7 receive tutoring, nurturing, and inspiration. He is also a national motivational speaker in the area of youth development and youth programming.
Gilmore and the center were recently featured on The Ellen Show.
In order to benefit local low-income, promising students, Frank Kabela, ’60, who majored in journalism at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, and his wife Pat, who attended Douglass College at Rutgers, have pledged a seven-figure gift to the Rutgers Future Scholars Program.
Ruiz, an Information Technology and Informatics major at SC&I, is one of only 1,000 students in the country chosen for this honor. As an Under 30 Scholar, Ruiz will attend the Forbes Under 30 Summit where he plans to network and gain insight into what it takes to run a company.
Montague hopes to promote further collaboration between public librarians and social workers as she observes Rutgers’ first Masters of Social Work (MSW) intern, Sandra Burstyn, at the East Brunswick Public Library. Burstyn was placed there as a result of an existing collaboration between the School of Communication and Information, The School of Social Work, and the East Brunswick Public Library.
