Our Mission and Goals:

Our Mission is to assure student participation in the GSLIS curriculum evaluation and development process.

Our goals are:

To be aware of and knowledgeable about faculty discussion and activities related to the GSLIS curriculum;
To be aware of how curriculum-related decisions for the Simmons GSLIS program track or deviate from LIS curriculum development trends and employer expectations in the US and Canada;
To share awareness and knowledge from a student perspective with the GSLIS student body;
To solicit student input on ideas emanating from the Faculty Curriculum Committee (as well as ideas from other schools and other students);
To develop and maintain a constructive and supportive advisory relationship with the Faculty Curriculum Committee.
