Seeking Student for Advisory Board

The LTA program is currently seeking a student representative for the program's Advisory Board. The Board is made up up of several librarians and support staff from around Lake County as well as one current student. With the graduation of the last student rep, I need to recruit another. You will be asked to attend one or two meetings during the academic year. We discuss changes to the curriculum, items of interest from the field that might affect our students, and other important items. Help be a part of your fellow student's future! If you're interested, please contact me at achernaik@clcillinois.edu.
