SLA-SG September Events: Fall 2025 Semester Meeting 1, and Keys to Special Libraries Panel

Hello everyone,

It's September again; and as sure as that means the beginning of Fall classes and festivities, it also means that the St. Kate's Special Libraries Association - Student Group (SLA-SG) is ready for another term of connecting MLIS students with opportunities to work in and learn more about our field. We can't wait!

Our very first event of the semester will be a virtual group meeting to welcome in new students with an interest in special libraries, and lay out some of our broader plans for the Fall. For those not familiar with our regular meetings, they are normally no longer than 45 minutes, and are a great way to stay informed about the latest news from the SLA Midwest Chapter, Student Government, and new openings for internships, jobs, and volunteering.

Date: September 8, 2025

Time: 6:30pm - 7:15pm, CST

Where: Via Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/qeo-fdri-gnx
