St. Catherine University: SLA

Our silent auction fundraiser was successful again this year! Thank you to all who made it happen! Many information professionals and students braved the snowy evening on Monday, January 28, to be at the SLA-MN's annual holiday party, where our fundraiser was hosted. Held at the beautiful, historic James J. Hill Center, we mingled with other professionals and dined on delicious hors d'oeuvrs. We raised $712, which will go towards funding a scholarship for one student to attend the SLA national conference this year. Thank you St. Kate's MLIS students for attending, and thank you SLA-MN and MALL for organizing!

Join us for a night of celebrating and connecting with fellow information professionals! This is SLA-MN's popular annual holiday event that includes excellent hors d'oeuvres, opportunities to connect with other local special librarians and information professionals, and a silent auction organized by us, the MLIS Program's SLA Student Chapter. Proceeds from the auction support a Travel Award for one MLIS student to attend the Annual National SLA Conference, to be determined by an essay contest. We are currently in the process of soliciting donations from alumni, professionals, and businesses. We will need volunteers to help set up the silent auction on the day of the event! Please let us know if you are interested in helping with the silent auction. This year the event will be held at the beautiful James J. Hill Center in downtown St. Paul. Whether it's to support SLA, network, or enjoy the amazing setting, we hope to see you there! Click HERE to get tick...
