Cornell University Library, which employs approximately 500 students a year, has honored its top student employees with the Fuerst Outstanding Student Employee Award.
This year's winners, all from the Class of 2008, are:
- Shianne Beer, Mathematics Library

William F. Fuerst Jr. '39, created the annual award in 1995 to recognize outstanding student employees for their exceptional performance, leadership and library service to the campus. Fuerst, a devoted supporter of Cornell University Library, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Big Red Athletics and Cornell Plantations, was named "foremost benefactor of Cornell" in 1989 and received the 2000 Frank H.T. Rhodes Exemplary Alumni Service Award in recognition of his extraordinary service and leadership.
