Graduate students from the San José State University School of Information were recognized with 2025 REFORMA Scholarships for their dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion in librarianship.

Marina Luz Corrales, Emily Chen Taina, and Mirna Gutierrez-Saucedo were among this year’s recipients. Corrales and Taina earned REFORMA/SAGE Scholarships for their research and advocacy supporting underrepresented communities in academic libraries and archives. Gutierrez-Saucedo received the Rose Treviño Scholarship for her work improving library services for Spanish-speaking patrons. All three students are enrolled in the iSchool’s ALA-accredited, fully online Master of Library and Information Science degree program.

REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking, strives to expand access to information and resources for Latine and Spanish-speaking communities nationwide. Through its scholarships, initiatives, and advocacy efforts, the organization empowers emerging library professionals dedicated to cultural inclusion and community engagement.

The SJSU iSchool REFORMA Student and Alumni Group advances this mission by promoting mentorship, professional growth, and inclusive practices in library service. The achievements of Corrales, Taina, and Gutierrez-Saucedo reflect the group’s leadership and the iSchool’s ongoing commitment to equity and representation across the profession.
