We will be hosting two distinguished alumni of GSLIS and the Archives program back at QC next week during Curriculum Space to discuss student involvement in three important professional organizations: the Society of American Archivists (SAA), the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC), and the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York (ART). 

The session will consist of short presentations about the benefits of student membership and participation in professional archives organizations, followed by a Q&A discussion in which students will be encouraged to ask questions about professional engagement and the field in general.

Our guests include:

Jenny Swadosh (GSLIS '07), Associate Archivist for the New School Archives and Special Collections, member of SAA's Reference, Access, and Outreach Section, mentor to new professionals through SAA's Mentoring Program, and active MARAC member.

and:

Nick Pavlik (GSLIS '11), Senior Archivist at the 92nd Street Y and Director of the Programming Committee at ART. Prior to the 92nd Street Y, Nick worked on grant-funded processing projects at the Brooklyn Historical Society, the American Museum of Natural History, and the New York Transit Museum.
