This Week at SLIS: May 5-11

Not sure what you’ll do with your gowns after you graduate? Donate them to LISSA so future grads will be able to use them at their graduation. Look for a box in the SLIS student lounge after the graduation ceremony where you can deposit them, or email the LISSA President if you would like to donate them some other way.
