ULS CEC Padlet by McCormick Ware, Crystal https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg Formalizing ULS Relationships with the University CECs en-us 2020-10-13 16:55:21 UTC 2020-11-15 21:53:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Introducing the Archival Profession to HS Students https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870162084 I would love to see workshops for high school students that introduce them to the archival profession and all its many facets. I think that there is a (very fair) criticism that the archival profession remains homogenous. I think the community engagement centers/high schools that we could engage with through the community engagement centers would help to inform a more diverse body of students of the profession/career path AND would help to strengthen the archival profession as a whole. ]]> 2020-10-28 15:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870162084 On the job experience within the library. Set up job sharing experiences within different departments in the library so high school students can gain real world job experience in these careers to make them more competitive. https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870171903 2020-10-28 15:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870171903 Presentation for ULS from CEC or colleagues working with CEC about past and current projects. https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870172481 2020-10-28 15:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870172481 Partnerships https://padlet.com/crystalw1/y54r18yj3n53v2eg/wish/870177294 1.
