Dear Colleagues,

Great news from our Alumnus Andy Heiz (who also is a member of our GSLIS Advisory Board).

Way to go Andy!  Couldn't happen to a more deserving individual.

Always good to have news like this to inspire us in challenging times.

Thank you so much for sharing, Andy, and we look forward to hearing about your progress with assessment of teaching and learning objectives!

Cheers and Congratulations from all of us,

Claudia

Subject: Tenure Approved!!

Hi Claudia,

Please share the good news around the department that my tenure as
librarian was approved by the president! I give a great deal of credit
to the program at Queens College for this success. I also want to
thank you for all that I learned in your classes. Your enthusiastic
attitude and encouragement did wonders for me in school and my career.

We recently hired a new instruction librarian and we are working on an
assessment of the library program here. We are working hard to
articulate learning objectives and develop tools to assess our
teaching.

Also if there are students interested in going into library
instruction in a public or academic setting Simmons is hosting an
online library instruction boot camp. Link here:

The attached picture was taken during the recent snowstorm (or what
passes for a snowstorm this winter) up at Mohonk Preserve.

Please pass my hellos to the QC GSLIS faculty.

Andy Heiz
