• Need help deciphering the conference booklet and choosing what programs to attend?

  • Need a friendly and familiar face to introduce you to other members?
  • Are you curious about what a specific MLA chapter, section, special interest group or committee can do for you?

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, register to participate in Colleague Connection!

Providing opportunities to meet new colleagues, build your professional network, discuss new ideas and maximize your time in Chicago, Colleague Connection pairs newer members or first-time meeting attendees with returning, more experienced members during the 2008 Annual Conference.

Experienced members benefit from Colleague Connection, too! Mentoring a colleague during the conference can expand your professional network, expose you to new ideas and see the conference from a fresh perspective. In addition, you will get the satisfaction of helping someone, and there’s no greater reward than that! Don’t be left out! Register at: http://libweb.lib.buffalo.edu/hsl/cc2008.asp

If you register by Sunday, May 11th, you will be guaranteed to receive your mentor or mentee before leaving for the meeting. After May 11th, members will still be able to sign up via the Web or in-person at the conference.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact Dean Hendrix at dhendrix@buffalo.edu or 716. 829.3900 x112.
