Jodi Hooks, a fellow in the FSU College of Information’s Project LEAD program, has been awarded a Sandy Ulm Scholarship by the Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME).

Jodi is an elementary school teacher in Tarpon Springs, Florida. She is a fellow in Project LEAD, a program at the Florida State University College of Information that offers graduate education opportunities focused on leadership for school library media specialists. The program offers students an online curriculum that integrates the tenets of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to increase the probability that candidates will qualify for National Board Certification in library media.

Each year FAME awards at least one of the $1,000 Sandy Ulm Scholarships to a student studying to be school library media specialist. The scholarship was named in honor of Sandy Ulm, first president of FAME and a Department of Education Liaison for many years.
