ALA Student Staffer, American Library Association Conference, Washington, DC
Posted October 5, 2018
Each year every ALA student chapter is encouraged to nominate one and only one student to participate in the Student-to-Staff Program (S2S), established in 1973, and coordinated by the Chapter Relations Office with support from Conference Services.
The Student-to-Staff Program (S2S) provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 40 students engaged in ALA Student Chapters both the opportunity to work behind-the-scenes with ALA staff at each ALA Annual Conference and to attend meetings, programs, and other Annual Conference events in their spare time.
Calls for nomination are sent to the Student Chapter business e-list. Faculty advisors are asked not to send nominations before receiving the call for nomination or through regular e-mail. Instead, faculty advisors will be asked to complete a nomination survey. The link to that survey will be included in the November invitation.
Here is more information from the ALA: http://www.ala.org/
To qualify for the ALA student-to-staff program:
- Each student must be a student chapter member;
- Each student must be a current ALA member and remain an ALA member through the ALA Annual Conference that he or she is nominated to participate in;
- Each student accepted cannot have previously participated in the program;
- Yes, students are eligible if they graduate in May immediately before the conference.
The deadline for all email submissions will be Friday, October 12 before 5:00pm Eastern.
