Dear Spectrum Family,
What would you like to have known as a new library professional? What have you learned about professional branding, constructing a career strategy, identifying mentors, and navigating the workplace?
The ALA Spectrum Institute is looking for presenters to share their knowledge and experiences with current Spectrum Scholars at the 2015 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco on June 25 and 26, 2015.
We seek stimulating proposals for 1 - 1.5 hour panel sessions or workshops which will be scheduled for Thursday evening (6/25) and Friday (6/26) morning and afternoon that speak to geographically and racially diverse Master-level students transitioning to professional positions. All speakers must be registered for the ALA conference. Primary speaker must be a past recipient of a Spectrum Scholarship.
Proposals should be submitted via the online conference proposal form: http://bit.ly/1m3AJNw
Deadline for submission is midnight March 22, 2015.
Proposals will be reviewed by the Spectrum Advisory Committee and program organizers will be notified regarding the status of their proposals by April 6, 2015.
