2007 Student Chapter of the Year!
The official word from headquarters:
It's a tie!
The Student Chapter of the Year Award has two winners this year! The Award will be shared between the student chapters at Simmons College and UCLA. A hearty congratulations to both chapters!
Simmons College student chapter
One committee member remarked that the Simmons chapter "has found a way to its members' minds -- through their stomachs!" The Simmons chapter has also done a good job retaining membership numbers. Their chapter activities take wonderful advantage of the resources available to Simmons because of its geography and academic connections (within and outside Simmons). Their chapter activities are offered consistently and reflect current interests of students and practitioners. the Simmons chapter maintains consistent communications and uses current media for communications. The chapter gave and received awards during the 2006-7 reporting year.
Simmons held a total of 71 meetings, events and workshops—this included 8 meetings, 16 events, 47 workshops over the Fall and Spring semesters. Emerging Technologies Workshops covered topics such as XHTML & CSS, Wikis, User interface design, Podcasting and Internet Radio, Setting up an RSS Aggregator, etc. Members assisted students in holding an Advising Day for incoming GSLIS students, and Speed Geeking II, in which five panelists spoke to small groups of 3 or 4 about technology related jobs. Current membership is 39, a slight decrease from the 44 previous, however they recruited 28 new members, and retained 11.
ASIS&T @ Simmons
Welcome to our wiki!
This is the collaborative workspace of the Simmons chapter of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). We will be using it to plan events and create meeting agendas. There is also an area for anyone unfamiliar with wikis to play around with the technology and explore its possibilities and limitations.
