= = Valley City State University M.Ed./Library and Information Technologies concentration has received National Recognition from AASL (American Association of School Librarians)! It's been a long road--lots of statistics and forms over three years--but this is proof that if you dream big enough and work hard enough, your goals can be reached. A special thanks to every single LMS in the state for your support of the VCSU library education program over the years! []
