Director (and alumni) kudos!

Kudos to… Ricky Punzalan (MSP08 and current MSP Director), who in late August 2025 received a Society of American Archivists Council Exemplary Service Award for his work with the University of Michigan’s “ReConnect/ReCollect: Reparative Connections to Philippine Collections at the University of Michigan” Project.  The project convened a diverse group of UM faculty, librarians, archivists, curators, collections managers, students, and members of the Filipino and Filipino American community.  Other MSP-affiliated contributors to the project included Dr. Kerstin Barndt (MSP Director 2020-23), alumni Emily Na (MSP21), and student Sony Prosper (MSP21).
