In addition to my studies, and my position as a Digitization Support Specialist (Student Assistant III) I understood how important it was to be involved with student organizations. As an LIS student I held board member positions within two organizations since the beginning of my time in the program. I actively participated in service projects with four of the five different student groups, as well as volunteered my time at a local public library branch. |
American Library Association - HI Student Chapter (ALAsc)
|
I was elected president of the ALA student chapter for the Spring 2015 and Fall 2015 semesters. In my role as President I planned numerous activities including professional development and brown bag seminars, pau hanas, service projects, and executive and general meetings. I regularly attended faculty meetings, and successfully integrated myself within the LIS department so that I was better able to serve the ALAsc members, and aid the LIS student body as a whole.
Some of the major events that were held during my Presidency are:
|
Hui Dui
|
I was elected as the Hui Dui secretary for Fall 2014, and Spring 2015. As a board member of the primary LIS student group I assisted in a broad variety of tasks. I oversaw the LIS student diner, which is the primary fundraising source for the LIS Grad Dinner. I also collaborated with other board members to plan and execute Grad Dinner from the ground up. This included scouting locations, planning menus, budgeting for meals, coordinating with other student groups, and physically running the event.
Some major events that I participated in are:

Nā Hawaiʻi ʻImi Loa (NHIL)

Society of American Archivists Student Chapter (SAAsc)
