Six GSLIS alumni have been selected to participate in the American Library Association’s 2015 class of Emerging Leaders.
Anna Coats (MS '11), Xiaoyu Duan (MS '12), Isabel Gonzalez-Smith (MS '11), Paolo Gujilde (MS '09), Ximin Mi (MS '13), and Bethany Tschaepe (MS '11) are included in this year's class of fifty individuals from across the country. Now in its ninth year, this leadership development initiative provides opportunities for newer library professionals to participate in problem-solving work groups, network with peers, observe ALA structure, and serve the profession in a leadership capacity.
The Emerging Leaders program will launch with events at the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, which will be followed by six months of online learning and networking activities. At the end of the program, participants will display the results of their project planning work in a poster session at the 2015 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco.
