April Alumni Dinner Recap

Christian — Wed, 18 May 2011 02:15:32 +0000

The LIS Alumni Group held its annual reunion at EAT Catering & Café in the Gentry Pacific Design Center in Honolulu. Approximately 40 Alumni and friends reconnected and caught up with each other as they enjoyed a wonderful variety of delicious offerings prepared by Chef Dave. Highlights of the evening included guest speaker Catherine Toth, award-winning writer, columnist, blogger, videographer, photographer, and Kapiolani CC instructor (1996 UHM BA English) who captivated and entertained alumni and friends with her talk on social media in education. In addition, we raised $695 from the silent auction that included an Apple TV, and iPod Shuffle, along with numerous superb wines that were generously donated by Carol Yamaguchi Kellett (1992). A fine time was had by all and the Alumni Group is planning another event for Fall of this year.

New Paint Job

Christian — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:16:46 +0000

Welcome to the improved LIS Alumni Blog! We’ve spruced the place up a bit and intend to make this a more dynamic and active venue for documenting what’s going on within the alumni group as well as the activities of our graduates.

The goal with this “reboot” (as they say with TV/film franchises) is to highlight our graduates and share their accomplishments with other UH LIS graduates.

For example, we’ll have a semi-regular feature that interviews a UH LIS graduate and explores what they’ve been doing since obtaining their degree. Also, we want to know when you publish something — send us a citation or DOI and we’ll post it here for everyone to see!

Have you changed jobs recently? Let us know!
Have you won an award or a grant? Let us know!
Does your library have a job opening? Send us a note and we’ll advertise it!

Don’t be shy! Toot your own horn, or toot it for someone you know.

As the days unfold, we’ll be posting updates on changes and new features to the blog, so check back periodically.

Aloha!
