Gslisadjuncts Fwd: [metro-l] Announcing ACRL/NY's Pilot Mentoring Program -- Call for participants
by Claudia Perry 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Dear Colleagues, Our much esteemed Advisory Board member and Director of the NYPL Science, Industry and Business Library, Kristen McDonough, specifically asked that the GSLIS encourage participation in this important initiative. Given the difficult job market, our graduates and students need all the guidance and help they can get in negotiating the path to a successful professional career. We strongly encourage our wonderful students, alumni, adjunct faculty, faculty and other professional colleagues to volunteer to get involved either as a mentor or as a mentee. Our thanks to the terrific folks at ACRL/NY for all their many valuable initiatives in support of our collective professional growth! Best wishes on behalf of all of us at the GSLIS!

Dear Colleagues, I'm pretty sure most of you are well aware of the vagaries of the QC calendar and changes in "days" when classes are scheduled. But, just to reinforce LaRoi's point, please note that Tuesday 11-22 will follow a Thursday schedule and Tuesday classes should not be held. Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers and best wishes!
