 <\/p>\n

Check out all of the awesome events happening this week! Once again, all SLIS students are allowed to attend any of these events, regardless of membership status in our groups, or professional organizations. Come network, socialize, and build new skills!<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In addition, if you are interested in becoming a student leader, nominations are open NOW! Check the <\/span>LISSA Blog<\/span><\/a> to see what positions are open for the spring and fall 2018 semester! Why are we holding fall 2018 elections now? It gives new student leaders the chance to learn how to do the job before current leaders graduate. We want everyone to be prepared and know how to do stuff.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Once you know which positions you are interested in running for, fill out the<\/span> Student Leader Nomination Form<\/span><\/a> to nominate yourself! This form will be available until 11:59 pm on<\/span> <\/strong>March 10!<\/strong> That’s right, we extended the nomination period so folks can ask more questions about being student leaders.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Voting will open Sunday, March 11, and close at 11:59 pm on March 17th.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Reach out to current officers if you have questions about their group and the time commitment to be a student leader (it’s fun, and looks good on the resume, but it is work). Also, you do not need to be a current group member, or a member of national organizations to run for positions.<\/span><\/div>\n
