Simmons MSLA

Almost time for the new semester to start! What are you taking this spring?

Sheila Constantino Magovern, a current student in the School Librarian concentration, will be on a panel at this Saturday’s information session at Simmons. Come say hello and ask questions about the program.

The career fair is tomorrow, 4/17, 4-6pm on the Boston campus. It’s open to all SLIS students (Boston, West, and online) and recent grads. It’s worth going to see what’s out there beyond schools. (Melanie did mention at least one school district will be there, too!)

Day 1 of the MSLA conference was excellent! Wonderful keynotes, workshops, speakers and panels. Plus, that octopus dress!

Meet the candidate! Deborah Froggatt will be presenting on campus today. She is a candidate for the open SLT position, who will have some responsibility for program management.

Here’s your chance to ask questions directly!

Anybody else signed up for the MSLA Conference next month? I cannot wait.

Author Andrea Davis Pinkney is speaking at this year’s MSLA conference! Student membership in MSLA is free, and students receive discounted admission rates for the conference. Your activity fee also helps defray the cost. Registration is open, who’s going??
