Hi everyone,
We wanted to thank everyone who came out to LISSO's first ever Hap"pie" Hour this week. Good times and delicious pie were had by all! This is an event we're definitely keeping in mind as one to repeat later on in the semester.
As for upcoming events...
Spring Comps Orientation will be held at 5 o'clock today for those who are taking comps in a few weeks. Professor Carrigan will be going over tips and advice, as well as providing students with his extensive management knowledge. It will once again be taped, courtesy of Will Buntin, and posted to Blackboard for those who are unable to attend.
LISSO's March meeting will be held this Wednesday, the 10th in the SLIS Student Lounge from 5 to 6. We have some ideas in mind, but would love if you came out and helped us plan for the remainder of the semester and chat with fellow SLIS students!!
The following day Thursday, March 11 is LISSO's Resume Workshop from 11:30 to 1:00pm. This will also be held in the SLIS Student Lounge. We will be having librarians providing information about resumes and cover letters. They will also provide feedback on students' resumes and/or cover letters.
In other news,
We are also seeking nominees for the LISSO Leadership Award. Each year the students vote on the recipient for the LISSO leadership. We will have a school wide vote at the end of March. Students who graduated in December and will graduate in May are eligible for the award. We will send a list of the students out shortly with a call for nominations.
LISSO would like to remind you that we have an ongoing Dues drive. Dues are $5 and paid once a year. They can be given to any of the LISSO officers (Liz Siler, Anne Bradley, Chris Worland, Sara Wood, or Lisa Raney). We will be having a drawing at the end-of-the-semester picnic for all who have paid their dues this semester, and the winner will win a gift certificate to the UK Bookstore.
In closing..
As always, we are always open to any comments, complaints, criticism, suggestions, etc. You can leave a comment here, send us an e-mail to lissouk@gmail.com, or contact any of the LISSO officers.
Thank you!

Late February Updates
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that LISSO's Trivia Night at Winchell's is tomorrow, February 25.! The starting time has been bumped up to 7pm due to the UK game and it generally lasts for 2 hours.
Also, Dr. Huber's next Lunch'n'Learn will be held on Tuesday, March 2 from noon until 1pm. Dr. Ron Critchfield, Director of the Jessamine County Public Library will be presenting. His presentation is entitled "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children? Managing Conflict in Jessamine."
Please note that the Lunch'n'Learn will be held in the School's large conference room, Room 311, rather than the student lounge. Pizza and drinks will be provided.
LISSO's Hap"pie" Hour will be the next day, March 3 at 6pm at Ramsey's.
Hope to see you at one if not all of these events!
