Talking Shop: A Mentoring Dinner for Drexel iSchool SLA Alumni & Current
Students

Please join us for DUSLA’s first annual mentoring dinner designed to bring
together Drexel iSchool student and alumni SLA members in the casual dining setting of  Drexel's Academic Bistro. Space is limited to two dozen alumni and an equal number of current students interested in exploring special library career paths. The dinner is made possible through the support of the Drexel Alumni Association.

 Event Format:Students will select three SLA Divisions of interest and experience
“mini-mentoring” sessions based on each of their choices. The students will rotate through three  different small group conversations with alumni that change with each course: hors d'oeuvres,  entree, and dessert. In turn, alumni can inquire about current hot topics at the iSchool with each
student they mentor.

How to Participate: 
Alumni:Please reply listing your SLA Divisional affiliation along with
current and past job titles and industries in which you have experience. Alumni will be matched with the career goals of registered students and will be contacted one week prior to the event  with background on their matching students.


Students:check out the SLA Divisional webpage<http://sla.org/get-involved/divisions/>and choose three SLA Divisions of interest to
include in your RSVP. Also note any coursework and job experience relevant
to special librarianship or industry. Also, please bring a few copies of your resume to the event. RSVP early as this event will fill up quickly!
