Dear Ms. Dahlgreen,

Thank you,

Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in Youth Experience January Events:
Application Window Opens, Information Session, and Participatory Design Sessions at ALA Midwinter Meeting

Applications for the first cohort of Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in Youth Experience (YX) offered by the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland will open January 9, 2017. This innovative, online post-masters certificate will give youth service librarians the skills they need to integrate the latest research on learning, technology, community partnerships and design thinking into their practice with youth ages 0-18. Substantial tuition support is available through the generosity of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the certificate and the application process is available at: http://yx.umd.edu/

The YX faculty will host an online information session on January 10, 2017 at 1 pm EST. The information session will describe the courses in this certificate that will enhance librarians’ skills to incorporate design thinking, participatory design, and connected learning into their programming, as well as provide details on the application process. The session will be recorded and the link made available after the session. If you are interested, please complete the following form either to attend the session or to receive the recording of the session: https://go.umd.edu/52b.

The YX faculty will be at ALA Midwinter Meeting in Atlanta conducting participatory design/information sessions with youth public librarians. This interactive session will help guide the development of post-MLIS continuing education for youth, teen, and children’s librarians, as well as learning more about the Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in YX. Come share your experience and enthusiasm with a team of researchers and library educators to re-envision the next generation of professional education. Light refreshments included. Sessions will be on Sunday, January 22 (Room: GWCC A410) and Monday, January 23 (Room: GWCC A406) from 10:30 am to noon. If you would like to participate, please follow this link to register: https://go.umd.edu/52a.
