I would like to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning students in the MLIS and MIM programs. The first day of the academic term inspires many reactions, including anxiety, excitement, anticipation, and trepidation:  All are normal.  My colleagues and I at SIM are here to help in in whatever way we can:  Our goal is to help you achieve your goals and to enjoy your experience at SIM in an encouraging and welcoming environment. I wish all of you the very best and look forward to discussions inside and outside the classroom.
