For the seventh time since 2000, the Simmons GSLIS ASIS&T Student Chapter has won the Student Chapter of the Year award.

The announcement sent by ASIS&T cites a year of highly successful events, including talks by Peter Suber and Nicole Hennig, and a joint event with NEASIS&T that brought out students, faculty, staff, and NEASIS&T members from throughout the region. In addition to hosting, Simmons GSLIS podcasts each event, providing both the podcasts and supplementary materials on the GSLIScast website at: http://gslis.simmons.edu/podcasts/

On a day-to-day basis, the group is in contact with over 300 community members through a listserv, and the student leadership has created a virtual forum in which to conduct business. The group also has a longstanding close relationship with NEASIS&T, the local ASIS&T chapter, which this year received recognition as the ASIS&T Chapter of the Year. The relationship between the two outstanding groups has created a wonderful environment in which to exchange ideas and experiences between the learning and practicing communities, a benefit to students, practitioners, and faculty alike. 

Congratulations Simmons GSLIS ASIS&T Student Chapter and NEASIS&T!
