We’re looking forward to welcoming the incoming students to SLAIS at the new student orientation on Tuesday, January 4th! We will be tabling with information about our group and we will also be happy to answer any questions you have about our experiences in the program.

As the new student group on the block ALA offers many opportunities to get involved. In the coming year we are planning some great events and we welcome input and ideas. In Winter Term 2 we will be hosting events ranging from pure diversion, such as our February 14th ode to romantic literature (STAY TUNED), to a panel (details TBA) exploring the brass tacks of freedom of information.

Please join us in shaping the course of future ALA events.

Our first meeting of 2011 is slated for January 19 at Noon in the Trail Room. Following meetings will be held the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Noon in the Trail Room.

Cheers to the New Year!
