Greetings from the new semester! Many of you shudder to think that all the mailing lists are starting up again, but this one is the best.
Welcome back returning students, and welcome aboard new students, to the Print Culture Society! This year is looking to be an exciting one, and we're thrilled about all the new faces we saw at orientation last week. Our major event is a symposium/exhibition on the broad topic of print culture in religion. The symposium is scheduled for Friday, April 10, and the exhibition in the Special Collections exhibit space can go up over Winter Break and stay up through the middle of April. Our fearless Co-Chair, David Mindel, and our Events Coordinator, Gabe Gossett, have done lots of work rounding up speakers for the symposium. I am heading up the exhibition, and I need help! Anyone interested in helping me with putting together the exhibition with materials from Special Collections is urged to express interest at our first meeting.
Which brings me to: THE FIRST MEETING DATE, TIME, AND PLACE HAS CHANGED! THE FIRST MEETING DATE, TIME, AND PLACE HAS CHANGED!
Our first organizational meeting will now take place MONDAY September 8 at 4:30 pm in SLIS COMMONS.
Did you know that THE FIRST MEETING DATE, TIME, AND PLACE HAS CHANGED? Please see above for more information.
In fact, our meeting times in general have changed. Please expect PCS to meet the first Monday of each month at 4:30 pm in SLIS Commons. This change is reflected on our website's events page: http://slisweb.lis.wisc.edu/~print/pcsevents.html, and of course any changes from the scheduled meeting times will be sent to this list.
The symposium is not the only thing planned for the upcoming year. We have room for other events and activities, so bring your ideas and interests to our meeting and suggest them! In the past we've held brown bag talks, a print culture reading list discussion group, a trip to Chicago's Newberry Library for the Caxton Club Symposium on the Book, a bookbinding workshop, and a bake sale. The opportunities are broad, and we're eager to hear what you want to do with your time and involvement in PCS.
Don't forget to come to the meeting MONDAY September 8 at 4:30 pm in SLIS COMMONS!
Yours in print,
Lisa Muccigrosso
Chair, Print Culture Society
