Are you interested in exploring issues related to student success with colleagues in Illinois? The Student Success Interest Group of Illinois (SSIGI) is an informal group that discusses, learns, and shares how academic libraries support student success around the state. Student success is an increasing focus for academic libraries, with positions, spaces, and work devoted to advancing library and institutional goals. Efforts in this area encompass activities like outreach, instruction, programming, assessment, and campus partnerships. Members of this interest group are encouraged to share their experiences and learn from one another. The group is open to all, including (but not limited to) library faculty and staff, and will convene 2-3 times a year for synchronous discussion.
The group will convene via Zoom on Thursday, July 29, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, to discuss the transition to the coming school year. If you are interested in attending and/or being added to the list to find out about future events, please complete our RSVP/interest form.
If you have any questions, please contact Mallory Jallas, at mrjalla@ilstu.edu, and Kimberly Shotick, at kshotick@niu.edu.
