LAMP at ACRL Seattle

Check out LAMP scholar Roy Brooks' blog about his experiences at ACRL Seattle where he is presenting for the UW-Madison General Library System's ISIP program and LAMP.

Associated Students of Madison Diversity Committee

This week I had the opportunity to meet with Steven Olikara, the new chair of the Associated Students of Madison Diversity Committee. I found out about his appointment from the student paper The Daily Cardinal. We've started discussing ideas on how we might collaborate on campus-wide initiatives. One thing that was clear from our meeting is that while there are numerous initiatives by different departments and schools around the UW Campus there is not enough communication between them. If we could find a way to increase communication it might be possible to learn from each other and avoid redundancy.

One very interesting program that Steven brought to my attention is the Posse Program at the School of Education. It appears to use techniques that are similar to LAMP. Use to the link to learn more about it.

We have an LAMP, AOF, ISIP, and international student social coming up on Friday, December 12, so look here again for an overview of that event.
