What is LISSA?
LISSA (Library and Information Science Student Association) exists to represent and support all students in the GSLIS program. Each active GSLIS student is automatically a member of LISSA. All may attend meetings, choose to run for office and/or participate in LISSA sponsored events. Elections are held regularly.
