Rachel Shirley has been recognized as the Fall 2016 recipient of the General Syed Ali Zamin Memorial Scholarship. Shirley is a junior majoring in Theatre with a concentration in film. She has been a student worker in Circulation Services since she started classes at LSU in 2013. “I’m really honored to have won,” she says, “It means a lot to me that my supervisors felt me worthy of this award and I hope to continue to show the qualities associated with this scholarship.”

The $500 scholarship, which is awarded twice a year, was established in 2015 by means of a gift from the Zamin family.  The scholarship recognizes a student worker employed in the Circulation Services unit who demonstrates the same professional work ethic and love of LSU Libraries as did their father.
