ALASC has won the Student Chapter of the Year Award, for the second year in a row! ALASC has also won this prestigious award before in 2024, 2022, 2014, 2010, 2009 and 2000!
The Student Chapter of the Year Award is awarded annually by the New Members Round Table and ALASC will be recognized at the NMRT Annual Social at the 2025 ALA Annual Conference in Philadelphia, PA this summer. Here is what NMRT had to say about our chapter in this article:
“The Student Chapter of the Year Award Committee was impressed by San Jose State University iSchool’s member engagement with 802 subscribers to their newsletter. The chapter is highly active in programs, projects, and activities. SJSU held monthly meetings to update each other on individual and team activities, progress, and goals, as well as vote on actions needed. The chapter used a variety of communication services such as the student chapter website and blog, social media, Flickr, YouTube, and Linktree. Through dedication of its members, this chapter has made significant contributions to the school and ALA.”
