Dear students, staff and faculty of GSLIS,
I’m pleased to tell you our program has been re-accredited by the American Library Association. This is an important achievement, as it demonstrates that our degrees meet national standards
and that our graduates are qualified for professional posts across the United States and Canada.
Thank you to the faculty, staff and students who helped in the compilation of the 700 page report that we submitted to ALA in January, to all faculty, staff, students (especially the
student chapter leaders), and alumni who showed up for us during the site visit in Spring, and to the college for supporting our presentation to the Committee on Accreditation in Chicago yesterday.
Our next accreditation will take place in seven years, and we look forward to continuing to build our programs with the GSLIS community in that time.
Best,
Dr. James Lowry (he/him)
Associate Professor
Chair and Director,
Information Studies, Queens College
Ellen Libretto and Adam Conrad Endowed Chair in Information Studies
