Jill Hurst-Wahl, professor at Syracuse&#39;s iSchool, offers some very timely advice for LIS students in a recent post. I thought so much of it, I&#39;d like to share it with my colleagues here at Maryland.<div><br></div><div>

</font><br>-- <br>&quot;Mastery of language affords remarkable power.&quot; - Frantz Fanon<br><br>“[T]he tragedy of life doesn&#39;t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn&#39;t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.... It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.&quot; <br>
