Announcing SJSU SLIS Alumni Directory/Assn.

[Rose Tanniver]

Please Note:  This announcement is being cross posted to a number of
mailing lists and print materials.  Please excuse any duplication.


An Alumni Association is now being formed for the School of Library and
Information Science at San Jose State University for both the San Jose and
Fullerton campuses. Dr. Ruth Hafter is the  Alumni Advisor for the new
Association.  The Association hopes to  achieve the following objectives:


*Develop a support system that links the School to the professional life of
its alumni and creates a conduit for dynamic feedback from graduates about
the quality and relevance of the curriculum.

*Promote the School, publicize its activities, and seek outside support for
new and innovative programs.

*Locate and recruit volunteers to form an initial Alumni Association
Governing Board. The task of this Board will be to quickly meet and develop
an action agenda and communication format to promote and publicize the new
organization.
