Greetings SLIS Classmates, Faculty, and Staff! Welcome and welcome back to all new and returning SLIS members! I hope everyone had a refreshing break. As we all get ready to head back to class, virtually or otherwise, I'd like to announce that LISSTEN is kicking off it's Spring Semester Fundraiser! We are introducing our newest item, the SLIS Lanyard! See our Presale Special and Order Form (attached). This is available exclusively through LISSTEN! Start your semester off in style! Get your travel mugs too! They're so hot they're blue- cobalt blue! Help support your student organization through the purchase of these items! Here are some of the events LISSTEN facilitates: * Banned Books Week- Participate in your 1st Amendment rights by reading a challenged book! * Resume & Interview Workshop- Resume building, mock interviews, and job hunting skills with LIS professionals and SLIS grads. * Graduation- Ceremony hosted for graduating SLIS students at Hope University's Pacific Auditorium. * Library Tours- Hosted throughout the year at all types of libraries. Remember. LISSTEN is "your student voice." We're always looking for new ideas on how to best serve you. If you have a great fundraising idea or would like to join our fundraising committee or any other committee, please contact me at: clairebluesky@mac.com We have some exciting events coming up.
