I recommend starting with our on-demand introduction to Clubs webinar, which you can access here. This is a great way to get a sense of how Girls Who Code is leading the movement to close the gender gap in technology and how you can bring free computer science programming and resources to your community. Our Clubs flyer is also helpful for getting a brief overview of what Clubs are and how to get started, and it's great for sharing with interested colleagues and community members as well. I encourage you to apply to start a Club, which you can do without any obligation. Doing so will give you access to HQ, our online learning platform that includes complete curricula, facilitation guides, and videos to walk you through how to get started with Clubs. If you have any questions as you go through the materials, our our FAQ page is a great resource, and you can reach our program team at clubs at girlswhocode.com. They will be able to help you with anything that comes up! Finally, if you think the Tribal Libraries may start multiple Clubs, you may want to consider our Community Partnership Program, which provides additional resources to support your network, like customized training. Please email communitypartnerships at girlswhocode.com to let us know if you are interested in this opportunity. Thank you so much. We hope to welcome you to Clubs soon!

Mid-Atlantic Cohort* | December 13-15, 2021 Application Due: Monday, November 8, 2021 *Please note, anyone can apply to this cohort regardless of geographic region as well as for any remaining cohorts (view all cohorts). Built on a vision of developing learning experiences that help you to be ?fueled by foresight? in all that you do - Transformation for Libraries: The Futures School is a unique training program presented in partnership with the CT State Library Division of Library Development and Kedge: The Futures School (TFS). It emerged from a growing realization among leaders and organizations that success in the 21st century landscape of rapid change means we must embrace new pathways to the future. In other words, we need to foster mindsets and skills that help us to seize untapped possibilities and opportunities. Strategic foresight is a framework that creates multiple future scenarios, envisioning outcomes and evaluating current and pending strategies to support decision making and action in the present against a suite of possible futures. Participants will work with a library-specific focal issue to produce multiple scenarios for libraries 10-15 years in the future. Library staff will develop the skills to identify and capitalize on emerging trends, weak signals, and changing patterns through tangible models and reusable templates that allow them to apply their learnings immediately. You are invited to participate in this IMLS grant funded project. With tangible results and a repeatable framework, you?ll be on your way to developing a foresight mindset and skillset, ensuring you are primed for market-leading innovation, successful opportunity development, and future-proofing intelligence. Ultimately, you will learn a strategic framework that enables you to continuously learn-unlearn-relearn to lead discussion and action in the transformation of libraries.

He is looking to connect library students with libraries on the subject of pandemic response. One option involves students creating a report of the library's response, another is a capstone project. If interested working with students studying your pandemic response, please see below. Best, Eli From: cosla at memberclicks-mail.net On Behalf Of Jeremy Johannesen Sent: Friday, October 22, 2021 6:24 AM To: Guinnee, Eli, DCA Subject: [EXTERNAL] [COSLA] Library Intern Placements Request from David Landes CAUTION: This email originated outside of our organization. Exercise caution prior to clicking on links or opening attachments. The Too Long; Didn't Read version of this message is that as part of my work as the Bowden Professor I would like to connect library science students to the real work of great libraries. To that end I am looking for projects that teams can work on in a Community Engagement course and more in-depth capstone projects that I will fund. Interested? Fill out this form. In August of this year, I started as the Virginia & Charles Bowden Professor of Librarianship at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past two months I've been developing a plan to strengthen the ties between Austin's iSchool and the library community. I'm writing you today about two of those efforts. Two efforts that will give our library students opportunities to get real experience in libraries. Community Engagement Class The first of these efforts comes in the form of a Community Engagement course I will be teaching in the Spring with the Austin Public Library. In the class I have teams of students work with libraries to study current events and topics - in this case, the response to the ongoing pandemic. Students will put together a report that examines a library's response to the pandemic including: * An overview of the library including quantitative data like service area/population, community demographics, a description of the library, the library's mission statement * A review and narrative of how the library closed or changed services at the onset of the pandemic in March of 2020. This can include community messaging, what services were available during lock down, a sense of the community impact from the virus and racial protests. * The current status, internal narratives (the messaging being shared within the organization/library), external narratives (the messaging being shared with the community) in the library * What changes will be implemented within the library in a new normal established after the pandemic? The report will not be shared beyond the course without your permission. These reports require a point contact person, an interview with a library administrator, an interview with a front-line librarian, and an interview with a community member if possible. In addition to these interviews, the contact person will need to meet virtually with students several times over 14 weeks. The work would begin in February. The students have a wide interest in libraries so I am looking for public, academic, school, and special libraries globally. In the past we have worked with community colleges, large urban libraries, a state library, and a high school library. Capstone Scholars Library students in the Texas program are required to complete a Capstone project. These projects are 125 hours that constitute: "a fieldwork-based project under the guidance of a field supervisor from the organization or department sponsoring the project. Students must produce a deliverable and undertake a single, large project (not several small ones) as one of the aims of a PEP is for students to learn how to manage a considerable piece of work and deal with obstacles and challenges that arise in long projects." I am funding 5 students to work with libraries on projects. These could be anything from planning a new type of service, examining the effectiveness of programs, or developing professional development. The only constraints are that unlike internships, this about one big project, students must be able to do the work remotely, and the results must be shared. I will be meeting with these students on a regular basis to provide support and mentoring. This should minimize the amount of time you or your staff need to supervise the students. If you are interested in capstone projects, I will need an abstract of the project and a point person. Also, beyond the 5 paid scholars, I will happily connect students to interesting projects. The Ask If you are interested in participating in either the Community Engagement course or the Capstone projects, please let me know. You can email me, or better yet, please fill out this form. As this work evolves, I would be very interested in your ideas on improving it for future years. Also, please feel to share this email with colleagues that might be interested. -David ________________ R.

The rule will then have to be published in the NM Register. That should take it to the end of December or the beginning of 2022 before the new rule is official. We do currently have an emergency rule for 4.5.9 in place that has a version of those three amendments that we were able to put into place on July 1 without a public hearing. It enables us to distribute the entirety of federal relief funds (such as ARPA funds), do an upfront disbursement of Senate Bill 377 funds to tribal libraries and a couple of other things. The emergency rule will expire at the end of December, however, if we don't go through the regular rule-making process to make the amendments permanent. That may be more than you are asking, but it gives some context to why we are proposing to make the amendments now.

It?s been a busy fall. Read on for exciting agency news, the launch of our Disability Design report, a bittersweet farewell to one of our teammates, and lots of federal and other funding opportunities. ? NEA News Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson Nominated as NEA Chair [https://files.constantcontact.com/c0b608cd001/7d2d1936-5293-422a-970c-40939dafb8ca.jpg] ?I am continuously inspired by the myriad ways in which artists, designers, and culture bearers make a difference, whether it be through celebrated national and international careers or through careers where artists are embedded in our communities, institutions, and organizations helping us to see and act in new ways as we move towards a more perfect union.? ? Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson ? President Joseph R. Biden nominated Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD, of Los Angeles, California, as chair of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) during National Arts and Humanities Month. She has served on the National Council on the Arts since 2013, when she was appointed by President Obama, and is a tenured Institute Professor in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts (HIDA) at Arizona State University, where she also holds an appointment in the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions.

Disability Design: Summary Report Summary Report from a Field Scan. Beginning in 2019, the NEA?s Office of Accessibility, in collaboration with the NEA?s Design program, set out to gain a better understanding of how designers in the U.S. are responding to the needs of people with disabilities and their inclusion in the design process as designers, leaders, and decision-makers. The NEA commissioned a field scan specifically looking at disability as it relates to public space (including architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and other public space design) and disability and the human body and mind (including fashion design, industrial design, and graphic design and computer science). The long-form field scan, researched by disability design educator and activist Joshua Halstead, yielded deep and thoughtful findings which have been distilled into this summary report. We hope you will dig into the report and share your thoughts on what should come next (email us at mailto:neadesign at arts.gov). Also check out the companion podcast, featuring interviews with Joshua Halstead and Grace Jun, CEO of Open Style Lab.

She will soon be joining the Trust for Public Land as associate director of policy and systems change. We?re thrilled to have a dear friend and colleague working to advance park equity and access, but will miss her fine mind, deep passion for and commitment to the creative placemaking field, subtle sense of humor, and overall collegiality. During Katherine?s tenure, she oversaw the award and management of hundreds of Our Town grant awards, helped to design the Creative Placemaking Technical Assistance Program, supported the field through knowledge building and convenings, and contributed to the development of A Framework for Understanding and Measuring the NEA?s Creative Placemaking Grants program that drove a refresh of the grant guidelines in response to an evolving field. During this transition, we will continue to be available for Our Town grants management questions and concerns ? continue to contact us through ot at arts.gov or your REACH accounts. And despite ongoing restrictions on in-person travel, our team continues to be ?out and about?. Over the past few months, we?ve presented on panels or workshops with the USDA?s Rural Workforce Innovation Network, the AIGA?s Back to Business panel, the Arkansas Arts Council ArtLinks 2021 conference, the ARC?s Appalachia Nonprofit Resource Center, and most recently the Resilient Nation Partnership Network?s 6th Annual Forum, co-hosted by FEMA and NASA.

No one more exemplifies the importance and potential of this role than Jane Alexander, who served during a particularly tumultuous time in the 1990s, while on a break from her widely lauded work as a stage actor. The Washington Post recently featured Alexander on the eve of the announcement for her eighth Tony Award nomination (spoiler alert - she didn?t get it), shedding light on many other facets of Alexander?s long and deeply engaged life. photo Jane Alexander, courtesy Playbill.com Director, Design & Creative Placemaking Jennifer Hughes: hughesj at arts.gov Specialist - Design Grants for Arts Projects Courtney Spearman: spearmanc at arts.gov Assistant Grants Management Specialist Xavier Boudreaux: boudreauxx at arts.gov Design Queries NEADesign at arts.gov Our Town Queries OT at arts.gov [https://files.constantcontact.com/c0b608cd001/28f42912-1a83-4f73-9f4a-2b43ce01a904.jpg] View as Webpage STAY CONNECTED [Facebook] ?
