I appreciated that I was given the freedom and encouraged to pick projects that interested me. This fellowship also exposed me to other career opportunities within the library.”

“Without the fellowship, I wouldn't have had the relevant experience to be hired in the first place, and I may not have had the confidence to be able to keep up as the company grew from 20 people to 150.”

JMC Fellow 2010-2011


“The JMC fellowhips pretty much defined my career trajectory!  Ever since my fellowship I have been working in some form of educational technology, loosely defined.  While at the JMC I discovered a passion for helping people learn how to use technology, and to use technology to help people.”
