Junior Officers
We would like to have two junior officers this year - primarily for the Winter semester - in hopes of maintaining institutional memory (something you will probably hear a lot about at SI if you haven't already) and to better connect first and second year students. Junior officers would attend officer meetings, assist in event creation, scheduling, set up, and advertising, help generate relevant discussion, create web content (such as blogs), etc.
If you are interested in participating as an ALA@SI junior officer, please respond directly to Jeremy at cjbarney AT umich DOT edu. If there are many responses we will hold elections in the near future, otherwise those wanting to be junior officers will probably just be named as such.
Please send a response to me by Tuesday, October 23, if you are interested in being a junior officer.
Thanks for your time and enjoy your Fall Break!
