On behalf of Dean Michele Cloonan, I would like to announce that Rong Tang will be joining the GSLIS faculty beginning this fall. (I’ll be sending out info regarding the classes she’ll be teaching later this week.) She comes to us from Catholic University where she was an assistant professor. Her areas of research interest include user behaviors and retrieval evaluations. Rong earned her Ph.D. from the UNC-Chapel Hill in Information Science. She also holds an MLS from Wayne State and an MA in Modern Chinese literature from Ohio state.

Welcome, too, to the six 2006-2007 Spectrum scholars that are joining us at Simmons. The names are being announced during this week’s ALA conference so more information will be coming soon.

This month’s SLA conference also brought good news to GSLIS student Jamie Emery, who was awarded the 2006 Roger K. Summit Scholarship for North America. For the full press release, please see http://www.dialog.com/pressroom/2006/rks_na_061206.shtml

And, last but certainly not least, current student Karie Kirkpatrick has won one of the NEASIS&T student travel awards to attend the ASIST Annual Meeting in November — which will be shortly after her award-winning paper appears as an article in Searcher magazine.

Congratulations Karie and Jamie, and welcome Rong and Spectrum scholars!
