We’re so proud of our ASIS&T Simmons co-chair, Jennifer Sunoo, for being select for ASIS&T’s 2021 New Leaders Program. As part of the program, Jennifer will\u00a0receive an award that includes ASIS&T Annual Conference registration and travel support, and will work closely with a mentor who is a\u00a0Chapter, SIG or Volunteer Leader in ASIS&T. We asked Jennifer a few questions about her thoughts on being selected for the program.<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about what it’s like to serve in ASIS&T. I am excited to work with the ASIS&T Professional Development Committee and be mentored by Louis Spinelli, who is the chair of this committee. I am also thrilled at the prospect of meeting and getting to know other IS&T students and professionals from around the world who are members of ASIS&T.<\/p>\n
I have been Co-Chair of the Simmons University Student Chapter of ASIS&T since fall 2020. I really enjoyed the experience and it influenced my decision to continue my education by pursuing my PhD in Library and Information Science at Simmons University.<\/p>\n
As a member of the 2021 New Leaders Program cohort, I hope to learn more about what different professional development opportunities are available to those in the IS&T community. I look forward to learning about professional development opportunities I may be interested in participating in, and about how I can help other IS&T professionals learn about and participate in available opportunities.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Jennifer!<\/p>\n
