To commemorate this special anniversary, ALASC\u2019s Events team members Missy McCollum, Cat Tang, and Connor Dandridge hosted the bi-annual, \u201cConnect Over Coffee.\u201d We were lucky enough to have a distinguished panel of SJSU alumni librarians, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jenn Roush, Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District Librarian<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily Espanol, Roseman University of Health Sciences, Pharmacy Librarian<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allison L.

Many topics were discussed in breakout rooms, such as a day in their lives, transitioning from part-time to full-time roles, leveraging association job listings, and juggling priorities. Alumni also shared what MLIS classes were valuable to their work today and how participating in ALASC\u2019s executive committee provided skills they still use today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to all the participants for the vibrant discussions! \u201cConnect Over Coffee\u201d is a great way to learn from peers on navigating library job opportunities post-graduation and connect with some amazing people.
