Welcome SIS Alumni & Friends
The SIS Alumni Association is an active organization of SIS graduates whose purpose is to support programs of the School and to foster communication among professionals. Staying connected to classmates via the School helps alumni build networks with each other while staying abreast of professional changes in specialized concentrations of library and information sciences.
The Spring 2009 issue of Interface is now available.
