Beth Whipple, MLS, AHIP, Assistant Director for Research and Translational Sciences, has been selected as a fellow in the 2022-2023 NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program, sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries.

The Leadership Fellows Program prepares emerging leaders for director positions in academic health sciences libraries through a year-long mentoring relationship with a director of another library and a curriculum focused on developing leadership knowledge critical to enhancing the value of libraries in their institutions. In this highly competitive program, Beth will be one of ten fellows and mentors from academic health sciences libraries across the U.S. who will begin their work together in November. Since the program began in 2002, over 52% of all fellow graduates have assumed director positions.
