I'm sorry to be this way, but this just codifies what we're doing now and continues competition among us for the same dates. We also have an unfortunate history of not supporting each other's extracurricular activities, whether through attendance, additional promotion, scheduling conflicts, or whatever. I think at least one of these each semester should be devoted exclusively to a national speaker, with required attendance, from among whatever amalgamation of interests LIS now encompasses, with EVERYBODY supporting it; if we continue this way, we will remain fractured with a fair number of students disengaged during CS time.

GSLIS Faculty -

There have been a number of queries re. Special Events Committee and it's role in planning for CS for Spring (and, beyond).

I circulate below the minutes from the Committee's December 15, 2011 meeting and circulated to Committee on December 20.  James noted one edit (included in the below version).  I offer this version as approved by the Committee.

In terms of dates I believe we are consistent with Bobby's note below:  February 7, March 12, April 19, and May 2.

I am away this week but will be checking email intermittently if there are questions.

Happy New Year.
