Dressed in their garnet and gold outfits - Florida State Professors Dr. Eliza Dresang and Dr. Nancy Everhart are seen leaving the Tallahassee Airport on a three day recruiting trip of the Tampa Bay Area. Just like Bobby Bowden travels the country looking for the best students for his football team - Eliza and Nancy are scouring the world looking for the best library and information science students to take the challenge of Project LEAD.
Project LEAD is a project funded by IMLS branch of the federal government. The project is designed to recruit potential leaders in the school library media specialist field and prepare them to complete the National Board Certification Program.
Project LEAD was created when the Institute of Museum and Library Services selected the grant written by Nancy and Eliza and provided $1.3 million in matching funds to make it happen. 30 students will be selected and provided full scholarships to complete the program.
