Hello, and welcome to the Northern VA/DC Metro Area cohort page!

This is for distance education students based in Washington DC, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Reston, Herndon, Manassas, Warrenton, and the surrounding area. Bookmark this page, join our mailing list, or join our Facebook group to keep up to date on events we hope to plan in the future, such as dinners, library field trips, study groups, or other fun get togethers.

You can find our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/UTK_SIS_NOVA

We also have a Facebook page called UTK SIS - Northern Virginia/DC Metro Area

All students and alumni of the SIS are of course welcome to join any of these groups!

E-mail Nikki Bhumarom-Gilbert (nbhumaro@utk.edu) or Valerie Jopeck (vjopeck@utk.edu) for more information on the Northern Virginia/DC Metro Area cohort.

There is also a Facebook group for students Virginia as a whole, where SIS students can meet to discuss assignments, plan trips, and generally become more
involved in information science. All regional VA cohort events will also be posted to this group, so it is a great one-stop place for information. To join this group, search SIS UTK - Virginia in Facebook.

More to come!
