St. Catherine University: SLA

Registration for the SLA-MN Holiday Party is now open! This year's event will take place December 8, 2017 from 5:30 to 8:30 in the Friends Community Room at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, 2400 3rd Avenue South, Minneapolis . The event will include hors d'oeuvres, dessert, and a cash bar, as well as the opportunity to view the galleries at MIA and tour the MIA Art Research and Reference Library. The event also features our Silent Auction to raise money to send one student to the SLA Conference in Baltimore next summer. (Check here for more details on how to donate .) Registration is $20 for students. Note that you can request a professional sponsor your attendance if you would like. Visit the  registration page  for more details and to sign up!  The Holiday Party is a wonderful chance to network with professionals and have some fun before the end of the semester. We hope you will all join us!

Our most recent Information Professionals Panel took place on October 30. We had an excellent group of panelists who braved the bad weather and shared some great insights with us!  We recorded the panel, and we'll add a link to that recording as soon as we can. You can read our summary of the event in the meantime. 

It's hard to believe it, but it's almost time for the SLA-MN Holiday Party and the SLA Student Group Silent Auction! This year's holiday party will be Friday, December 8 at the Minneapolis Institute of Art . We'll share more details soon, but save the date for a wonderful evening of food, drinks, networking, and of course the silent auction. For now, we are looking for donations for the Silent Auction. We use the proceeds from the Silent Auction to help send one student to the SLA Annual Conference, which will be in Baltimore next summer. But we can't do it without you! We need your help with donations!
