Looks like a great lineup! As it happens, the QC Student Chapter of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) is also organizing a panel for that week: Thursday October 29th at 7pm in Rosenthal 300i. I believe representatives from Archivists Round Table (ART), the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC), and ARMA will be present. A message will go out to GLISANN once details are finalized. This event has been organized by Sarah Rose, who is the Student Chapter of SAA President. I can try to encourage increased collaboration between the SAA group and LISSA in the future so that we don't have competing events, but I think these two panels will complement each other well!

Although scheduling problems did not permit the event to happen at date/time reserved for the Curr Space, we hope that it is still not very inconvenient for you to encourage your students to participate. I will be sending a general email through GLISANN on Monday, but we would appreciate if you mention the event in your classes too. The event is entitled: Where are they now? Advice from GSLIS Alumni. Students are invited to bring questions for the panelists to answer as well as a CV or resume for them to look overThe speakers are: * Shauntee Burns-Simpson. Outreach Librarian for MyLibraryNYC. * Arlene Laverde. High school librarian at Townsend Harris High School and the librarian at Flushing YABC. * Corinne O'Connor, employed at Winthrop Group, Inc. as part of their Information & Archival Services Division. * Simone L. Yearwood. Head of Access Services and Resource Sharing Librarian at Queens College, as well as assistant professor at GSLIS. Evidently as much as your lecture time allows you, I would encourage you to invite and allow your students to participate in this event. We all have worked to try to increase the number of opportunities for students to get career advice. For example, 701 and 702 have dedicated lectures and guest events to this topic and in the past we have coordinated events with QC LISSA to bring panels of professionals that can inform students about "the real world of LIS employment." Thank you in advance for your collaboration and support! Lucia Cedeira Serantes, PhD, MLIS, Lic.
