“Diana Fitzwater’s initiative to coordinate the information literacy program at the College of DuPage is quite worthy of this award,” said award committee chair José Aguiñaga, librarian at the Glendale Community College. “What she has achieved since 1982 at her institution is outstanding. Her involvement with embedding information literacy as a general education competency within the College of DuPage curriculum demonstrates her significant programmatic contribution to the college, on behalf of the library.”

Fitzwater was praised for single-handedly taking on the role of information literacy expert on campus, not only because she felt the library contributed to the educational mission of the institution, Â but also because she believes in the potential of all community college students and has dedicated her career to their success. She earned both her B.A. and her M.L.S. from the University of Iowa.
