Purdue Libraries' Dean James Mullins honored by ARL

On April 4, the Association of Research Libraries honored Dean James Mullins and the Purdue University Libraries for their enduring commitment to ARL's Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce, and for advancing the cause of diversity and inclusion in academic and research libraries. Since 2005, Dean Mullins and the Purdue Libraries have hosted IRDW Diversity Scholars at an annual "research library visit" designed to provide an inside look at operations in a major research library in the Midwest. During the closing reception for the eighth visit, held at the Purdue Black Cultural Center, Dean Mullins was presented an engraved trophy in recognition of this continued dedication to hosting the site visit
