[Students-l] Student chapter reports

[Chirag Shah]

Dear ASIST student chapter officers and members,

We want to share the student chapter reports from the last year's winners of the ASIST Student Chapter of the Year award to encourage every chapter to strive for similar achievements - see them attached with this message. 

The winners - Simmons and University of Denver - graciously agreed to share their reports. Starting this year, we have decided to make all the student chapter reports public once the award decisions are made. Here are the citations for these two fabulous chapters.

Simmons GSLIS

The student chapter of Simmons has done excellent recruitment through creative methods. They have even developed an impressive FAQs for recruitment! These efforts have resulted in more than 300 memberships. The student chapter also hosted a number of heavily attended events, including a tour of Google Cambridge. It invites faculty from other universities as guest speakers, which helps broaden students' view of the field. They also actively work with and participate in events with a regional group NEASIS&T, the New England Chapter. These activities and efforts have opened the door to many exciting opportunities for its members and  propelled the chapter in the direction for continuous growth.

University of Denver

For a chapter of their size, Denver is extremely active. The number of national members, amount and quality of activities, constant communication, carefully monitored finances, and administration of this chapter is quite impressive. The chapter offers many diverse and interesting activities and has attempted to work with other organizations. It has also shown creative use of social media as communication tools. They not only have a well-maintained organization, but also clearly articulated future plans.

Hope their reports and accomplishments inspire you. As you move forward with this year, make sure you're keeping track of all your activities and membership so when the time comes to submit your chapter report this summer, you have all the details.

As always, we are here to help if you need any support from ASIST HQ.


Good luck!
