Association of Research Libraries

The Association of Research Libraries Career Enhancement Program (ARL CEP) will create a robust fellowship experience for 32 graduate students from traditionally underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups. Over the course of three years, participants, selected through a competitive application process, will engage in an in-depth fellowship experience that includes a paid internship in a partner ARL member library; the potential for academic credit; mentoring; leadership development offered through ARL's annual Leadership Symposium; and career placement assistance. ARL CEP Fellows will be recruited from ALA-accredited Library and Information Science programs and placed in internships in one of the following ARL member libraries: University of Arizona; University of California, San Diego; Columbia University; University of Kentucky; University of Michigan; National Library of Medicine; North Carolina State University; and the University of Washington.
